Extra trivia bit: 'Boris' is the only name that's applied to more than one character in the entire QfG anthology - this Boris is in QfG1, but in QfG4 we meet Boris Stovich, who has rather more personality.
Also, QfG1 is unique for featuring a thieves' guild that has a person whose sole purpose is to be an 'accountant'. *BWG**looks around* Oh - and by the way, I know there aren't quite that many choruses in the original song. I chose to write an extra one, just for fun, because I found lots of rhymes for 'Boris'. So I'm just showing off. *G*

Just fence your goods (it isn't hard) -

and balance sheets as well;
He won't drink beer (unlike the Chief) -
and so he doesn't smell!

and likes a bit of beef!
