* Death commenting that Corporal "Threeparts" Scallot, so named due to him missing a hand and both legs, is on the instalment plan.

* Polly's first attempt to swagger and walk like a cocky young man (as she saw them do at the tavern) ends up with her veering off the road and falling into some bushes, nearly hitting a tree. She tones it down considerably afterwards.

* The description of how knowing too much about birds rather spoils one's enjoyment of birdsong: "It's hard to be an ornithologist and walk through a wood when all around you the world is shouting 'Bugger off, this is my bush! Arrg, the nest thief! Have sex with me, I can make my chest big and red!'

** Mal's ''immediate'' [[NotSoStoic reaction]] [[BerserkButton to]] [[spoiler: Strappi's reappearance]] could easily be taken as FelonyMisdemeanor out of context. Especially since Mal's on an ''epic'' caffeine high.

* When the squad encounters a group of enemy soldiers, ''beats their asses'', steals their clothes (and their boots), chains them up and drops the key into the privy - made doubly karmic and hilarious by the leader, Captain Horentz, turning out to be [[spoiler:Prince Heinrich, ruler of the opposing country (and a total asshole)]]. It's made even more brilliant when William de Worde turns up with Otto von Chriek and, to quote the article they wrote,

** The person giving the thumbs up? Vimes, who's just enjoying the show, and who the squad assumes because of his sloppy dress to be a sergeant. This is made even better by the fact that Vimes ''was'' a sergeant once upon a time, and had spent [[iterature/NightWatchDiscworld the previous book]] as one (specifically, a Sergeant-At-Arms), giving a sergeant's performance that Jackrum would have been proud of. To top it off, when it comes to sorting out aid for Borogravia and how he'll do it, he simply tells Polly, "well, as I said... I used to be a sergeant."

* When the soldiers dress as washerwomen in order to sneak into the hold, the only one who convinces the guards that he's a female is Blouse, while the others are declared to be "obviously male". The hilarious part is that Blouse is the only actual male in the group. Of course, [[FridgeBrilliance he's the one acting the way men]] ''[[FridgeBrilliance think]]'' women act.

** A Zlobenian captain irritates Polly by asking if she's one of those... and did they really... in shackles and no clothes... and they're just women? Then he leans forward:

** Speaking of the horse piss, when Maladict intimidates the barman into bringing out the good stuff instead, Igor ''turns it down.'' "I'll thtick with the horthe pith if it'th all the thame to you. Look, I never thaid I didn't ''like'' it. Thame again?"

* The RunningGag of Polly (who's never actually shaved anyone in her life) having to shave the Lieutenant, only to be saved at the last possible moment.

* Death commenting that Corporal "Threeparts" Scallot, so named due to him missing a hand and both legs, is on the installment plan.

* The YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction of Jackrum when he starts citing how pretty much every member of the upper brass is a woman in disguise...and then, seeing the surprised looks they give each other, realizes that rather than working together, ''every single one of them'' has been under the impression ''she's'' the only one doing this.
