one of the players rolls a new character to join an on-going campaign. Plays a halfling cavalier, lawful good, wants to become a knight, rides a horse. First quest the party does he goes to get the reward for the party (he had good charisma) and as the merchant hands over the bag of gold the player stops him.
"No reward is necessary my lord, only that of a good deed accomplished and knowing we have helped someone in need !"
I busted out laughing and the rest of the players all facepalmed.
"Non nobis Domine Sed nomini tuo da gloriam" "I wish for death not because I want to die, but because I seek the war eternal"

Madjack, are you giving that panda story as an example of how NOT to do it, or how TO do it, because if it's how NOT to do it, it was freaking funny. Yes, it took me a moment to think about it.... So?
And come on people! Fine, some of you weren't able to understand what I was saying. I get it. How many times has that been said, now? And I'm done being nice about it. Not MY fault that YOU couldn't grasp it. Now, instead of taking it as my taking my time to explain the situation, making each point a sentence so that you had a moment to process/visualise, you instead just bitch about how confusing it was. Seems many DID in fact understand it. Just because YOU weren't smart enough is not MY problem, ESPECIALLY after all this time.
Again, I now see why people have told me to avoid these forums....

A panda walks into a diner
That reminds me of another anecdote:
In 3.5 I created a were-panda PC that used a reach weapon (using the were-bear template, which had a large hybrid form). The party then learned that enlarge person worked on were-Pandas... resulting in a huge-sized panda threatening a 70 foot wide circle (i.e. the entire battlefield). At 1st level. Luckily the DM decided that this abomination would not continue to level 2.
(mcdonald's toy that was used as a huge miniature)

The DM had to make that call?
I have a 4E character build, the Crazy Cat Lady, that in the latest version has three pets at level 1. And gets more later. Plus spells that summon creatures.
No way would I play this character long-term. MY call.
"The world does not work the way you have been taught it does. We are not real as such; we exist within The Story. Unfortunately for you, you have inherited a condition from your mother known as Primary Protagonist Syndrome, which means The Story is interested in you. It will find you, and if you are not ready for the narrative strands it will throw at you..." - from Footloose

I wouldn't advise you to avoid these forums.
I suggest learning to communicate better.

Naw. I would've made the call had he not (even though the other players were enjoying it, as they were the ones casting enlarge on me). It was just a humorous anecdote, s'all. Why ya gotta be so negative?

That statement sounded jerky. Which can make folks less receptive.

I thought the same thing. And oh what sweet irony...

Try to imagine what happened. Visualise it.
The Pixie hit the dinosaur in the eye, causing it to trip over its own legs and crash.
