I don't have the book on hand, but in Wee Free Men Tiffany comments to the toad that he's looking rather yellow for a toad. He replies that he hasn't been well.
He's [wait for it] a yellow sick toad and Tiffany has been told to follow his advice.

Oh I've read that one in italian, they must have changed it because the two words so similar in English are very very different in italian, so I missed the ( 
) joke-

Sadly that's the kind of humour that can't work in translation when it relies on words sounding similar or having multiple unrelated meanings

In Guards! Guards! Vimes refers to the coffee that Harga serves him as: "love in a canoe". It took me a while to get that one, but I thought it was very funny when I did.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.
