Quote from Marshall in Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment in Slapmara
Barney: Beg your pardon, the fabled Slapping Tree of Gongqing Forest? Marshall: Sure. Barney: Really? Fabled? Because I've never heard of it. Marshall: Pretty sure everybody's heard of it. Guys? Ted: I backpacked there in college. Marshall: See? Fabled. It even inspired a popular Chinese children's book. It's a poignant parable whose message is if you love someone, set them free. But not before first slapping them right in their stupid face.
