Not really an example, but in Danish there's a joking way of quoting internal dialogue, like this: And then I said to myself, "Myself," I said, "I'd better get out of here fast." It's probably a snippet taken from a well-loved author of monologues. Lars Mathiesen (U of Copenhagen CS Dep) <thorinn@...> (Humour NOT marked)
