Guards! Guards! Vimes is Angry

Vimes is so angry he lifts up a three-hundred-pound orangutan without noticing. The Librarian decides not to comment.

When I first ever read this book, for some reason I assumed Vimes lifted the Librarian up by his chest hair. Since clearly, that wouldn’t work, I went with him grabbing under his arms. Admittedly that would require Vimes to think about it enough to notice what he’s doing.

I think this is one of those times you really shouldn’t overthink a joke.
