1	* The ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'' shout outs. The best part being that in the epilogue, Sam is surprised to find that Jane's novel (''Pride and Extreme Prejudice'') is now dedicated to him.
2	* Young Sam's continuing obsession with poo.
3	-->'''Young Sam:''' I've got a laboratory in the lavatory.
4	* Young Sam learns to milk a goat.
5	-->'''Young Sam:''' Dad! I know how to milk a goat, Dad! You have to pull its tits, Dad, they're all wiggly!
6	* The titles of the children's books. "The World of Poo", "Melvin and the Enormous Boil", or "The Boy Who Didn't Know How to Pick His Own Scabs" among others.
7	* The bathroom in Ramkin Hall, where the decorator had gone rather overboard with Faun motifs. As Sybil said, use of the bathroom when she was a child rather ensured that she wouldn't be shocked in later life.
8	* The explanation of the rules of crocket, which takes so long that (metaphorically presumably, but with Pratchett you never know), the universe ages and ends, a new universe is born, life evolves, a new Sam Vimes exists, and he's there just in time to hear the end.
9	* Early on, the explanation of why Vimes never argued with Sybil:
10	-->... because even when he thought he had won, it would later turn out, due to some magic unavailable to husbands, that he had been misinformed.
11	* Vimes uneasily reflecting that he had always thought of authors as people who just lounged around in their dressing gowns all day, drinking champagne, and a footnote asserts that this is, of course, completely true. And in at least one language, that footnote has a translator's footnote stating that this must be true, since Mr. Pratchett knows what he's talking about.
12	* The ''Wonderful Fanny'' (already a source of double entendres: "by then we should be able to see the ''Fanny''", etc.) gets [[{{Malaproper}} malapropismed]] by Vetinari [[NotSoAboveItAll of all people]] as the ''Enormous Fanny''. When corrected, he's implied to be embarrassed and/or trying not to laugh; "he did not exactly meet Vimes's gaze".
