I was hoping for a devious little mission or side quest from that kid but nadda :-(

From sheer memory alone let's see if I can remember the original lines

The Gods gave you two knees, and you took an arrow to both of them. I can respect that.

The Gods gave you two hands and you use both of them for your weapon, I can respect that.

I used to be a curved sword, then I took an adventurer to the sweetroll.

I use to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.

Patrolling Skyrim almost makes you wish for a sweetroll in the knee.

I don't know this one :(

Ahh, Sweetroll armor. By Ysmir, 'tis a wonderous knee.

I don't know which set of armor it is, probably a set I haven't used yet. Is your armor made from dragonscales? What I'd do for a set like that. Might have quoted that wrong :D.

So you're the new member of the Whiterun Guard. What do you do, fetch the arrows in the knees?

No idea, I'm guess it's the Imperial Legion, haven't done that quest line yet, did storm cloaks first time around.

Knee might get nervous, a sweetroll approaches with its arrow drawn

A guard might get nervous, a man/woman approaches with his/her weapon drawn

Disrespect the sweetrolls and you disrespect me

Disrespect the law and you disrespect me... I already disrespect him, but I'm not sure I disrespect the law.

Used to be the greatest soldier in the Stormcloak army, then I took a sweetroll to the chest.

I'm guessing this is just another play on an arrow in the knee =P.

When the empire surrendered to the sweetrools, they shamed us all!

When the empire surrendered to the aldmeri/elves/thalmor, they shamed us all!

I like the "I took an arrow to the knee" in joke.

Clearly it is Bethesda's response to the uproar over the removal of greaves...remember that people...omg, no greaves, now what is going to stop me from getting an arrow in the knee...we are all doomed etc.

They do know how to smack us down a little. Like when everyone complained that Dragon Age was too hard on Normal and then that it was dumbed down in DA2. They had a character who went around saying "Do you ever feel like the world's getting... simpler? Like everything from eating to fighting is a lot less complex than it used to be?"

I love these little nuggest game developers stick in the games to let us know they do pay attention to what fans are saying.

I really would like a dlc where a guards says his arrow to the knee line and adds i wish someone finds that bastard archer. --> New quest. Somewhere at a mountain top the best archer in skyrim has his camp. If you try to reach him you constantly get arrows in the knee. If you reach him he tells you some story about how he is the cousin of a guard who fights dragons but then someone took his sweetroll and he went insane and now shoots everyone in the knee. He is not a killer he is a wounder. And you need to get him a perfect sweetroll (its in a dungeon and you need a granite/azure dragonclaw which you only get if you play fetch 4 times in a row with the kids in solitude and then bring them 20 nirnroots) so he stops shooting arrows in knees. Or defeat him in an epic arrow to the knee duel.

You know, I could have made more "arrow in the knee" jokes. But I was...sick that day.

3 Guards in Solitude have gotten arrow shot in the knee, yet i get caught stealing iron ingot they chased me like fierce tigers. And then i put an arrow into their other knee, only that they can't get up no more.

Everyone's cousins are fighting dragons, too, and I wonder what the cousins are saying. "My cousin has guard duty, and I'm stuck here fighting dragons?"

No lollygagging!

My counsins on their way from Baja have been spreading stories of your sweetroll patrolling the Mojave again. Then they took an arrow in the knee. You can see it from miles!

Yeah it's gettin old already. It was fun the first day, then it got old and unfunny. Overusing something is stupid, and now youtube is flooded with these comments, much like the "the dislike bar is the size of justin biebers [censored]" comments.
People just don't know when to stop.
