Brutally honest quest givers

I've recently been questing in some areas in which I don't normally quest, and I've come across two quests that I absolutely love... not because the story is particularly interesting or the mechanics are particularly unique, but because of the brutally honest, no-BS quest text.
From Smokey LaRue in Eastern Plaguelands:
I need to get a bandage. Well, actually, I got a friend who needs to get a bandage. Well actually... let's just say it's complicated, but if you go get this bandage, you make money.
LOL. No explanation of who needs the bandage or why. It's just "get this bandage, you make money".
From Megs Dreadshredder in Tanaris:
I'll make it nice and simple for you: we need to kill a lot of pirates. Go do that, 'kay?
I love that. There's no explanation for why the pirates and goblins are there, or why they're fighting each other. It's just "go kill pirates".
What other quests basically say, "you don't really care why you're doing this, so why should I tell you? Just go do it"?

I don't recall anything like that; that is pretty funny though.
I always get a kick out of the ones that seem really out of left field.
For instance, the one in Hellfire where you have to help the two goblins who crashed their airship:
- one wants you to find wreckage, a perfectly reasonable chain of thought quest
- the other wants you to find bacon.
lol what?

Oh, by the way, this thread only applies to quest givers who presumably have specific reasons for asking you to go and do things, but who know that you
don't give a crap
what these reasons are, so they don't bother telling you. Quest givers who don't really have a reason beyond "for teh lulz", and explicitly say so, like Hemet Nesingwary, don't count.
For instance, the one in Hellfire where you have to help the two goblins who crashed their airship:
- one wants you to find wreckage, a perfectly reasonable chain of thought quest

Haha, Goblin quests in general are pretty funny. My favorite goblin quest of all time is
Lightning Strike Assassination
due to its sheer
Unmitigated Badassery

I still remember that one quest, I think it was in Searing Gorge, where the quest guy is locked in the outhouse. He asks you, through the door, to go get the key and let him out. He also asks you for "four pieces of silk cloth. For... for nothing".
Laughed my ass off at that one. ;)
