Going Postal (Discworld): Difference between revisions

* [[Requisite Royal Regalia|Vermine Cape]]: Morporkia is wearing one on some of the stamp illustrations in the book (at least the hardcover versions).

* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: Gilt, to the point where even ''he'' is incredulous about it.

* [[Walk, Don't Swim]]: Moist von Lipwig realises that even fleeing to a different continent would not help him to escape his Golem parole officer, as it would be able to walk any body of water eventually. Four miles an hour without stopping is [[Alternative Calendar|seven hundred and sixty eight miles in a week.]]

* [[The Window or the Stairs]]: Moist von Lipwig is given a choice by Vetinari: He can take over the job of Postmaster General, or walk out a door in Vetinari's office, and Vetinari would never bother him again. Being a [[Genre Savvy]] sort of chap, Moist goes to the door, carefully peeks through it, and finds a deep pit where the floor should be. He drops a spoon into the pit, and it doesn't make a sound for a rather long time. He takes the job. {{spoiler|At the end of the book, the [[Big Bad]] is offered the same choice with a job at the Mint. He walks straight out the door without a pause.}}
