From Nanny Ogg’s Cookbook, p. 88, “Dried Frog Pills”:

According to the Bursar of Unseen University: “Spoon! Give it to Royster! I do not take you up, sir, indeed I don’t, for there’s a thumb under the girdle or my name’s not Trucklebed! I’ll have two slices, if I may!” Extrapolating from this, the Archchancellor of Unseen University, Dr Mustrum Ridcully, tells us: “It was clear to me shortly after I joined the University as Archchancellor that the Bursar was mad as a goose, and none of my efforts to jolly him out of it (by means of practical jokes and so on) seemed to work. Then young Ponder Stibbons, our wizard who is very much up on modern thinkin’, came across some old research that suggested that the skin of some types of frog caused hallucinations, and he reasoned that, if it was possible to isolate the active ingredient and adjust it a little, it might be possible to cause the Bursar to hallucinate that he was completely sane. A commendable leap of imagination, that man. It seems to work, and provided he remembers the pills, our dear Bursar certainly passes for sane by the standards of universities.”
