In the bit he talks about how he was actually drunk in private until they threw him out of the bar into the public. ![]() Rincewind reminds me of a comedy bit Ron White performs when he talks about being arrested for being drunk in public. ![]() ![]() Years ago I didn't see it and out of the first five books, three were centered around Rincewind and his uncanny ability to get out of trouble while being so rudely inserted into trouble.
