In Echoes of Honor...
Nimitz sent images of Honor as a treecat, wearing an eyepatch, a naval beret, and Commodore's shoulderboards, chasing down a chipmunk with the face of Admiral Stiles. It makes Honor split-a-rib, she then admonishes him for his low sense of humor. Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

During a period of skirmishes in Harrington Steading, Honor attended a baseball game where she witnessed men carrying weapons hellbent on murder! Poor LaFollet had a heck of a time explaining that they were only planning to murder the ball.
It's just baseball Honor. And they're all Caseys with a Bat! Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

From HotQ
"Courvosier sighed. "But, you see, women on Grayson have no legal rights, Honor—none at all." "What?!" Honor jerked upright in her chair. ... ... "Precisely. They can't vote, can't own property, can't sit on juries, and—especially!—can't serve in the military." "But that's . . . that's barbaric!" "Oh, I don't know," Courvosier said with a lurking grin. "Might be a bit restful, now and then." Honor glared at him, and his grin faded. "That wasn't quite as funny as I thought it would be. |

I thought of one that was really only amusing to me.
When I was in high school there were two brothers who seemed to think their sole purpose in life was to make my time in high school a nightmare. Their names were Josh abd David Detweiler. So when I first read about the leaders of the Mesan Alignment my thought was evil must run in the family but why in the name of all that was ever holy would someone genetically engineer their descendants? I than came to the conclusion that ut was done because if they could make someone from their gene pool to the level the Mesan Detweilers were at it was proof they could do it to anyone. |

For someone as prim and proper as Honor she has a rather pointed way of giving someone the finger.

From At All Costs
This and many similar incidences... Corporal Thackston interrupted a sparring match of Harrington's. He ran into the presence of Andrew LaFollet and almost got himself shot because he was so anxious and full of dread delivering the Case Zulu message. Yet all he got out of Honor was...
Just once I wish one of the peons will muster the courage to speak his mind. 'Captain Harrington, did you hear what I said?!' After all, why should they be the only ones about to excrement the 'fruit of the looms?' Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

Ashes of Victory,
Honor's interview with Andrea Jarawalski, Of all the things she missed on Hell, she often thought she missed Old Tilman most. The StateSec garrison had imported Peep beer (most of which could have been poured back into the horse and left the universe a better place, in Honor's opinion...  .

Agreed, George, well worth a grin and a giggle....I remember years ago seeing a drawing of a Stallion drinking out of a vat of Coors while...disposing of the product into a keg labeled Budweiser. Given that my Brother worked for Budweiser, I made sure he got a copy.... ***********************************************
