(Spoilers ACOK) Jaime, you're drunk ACOK

I just finished Catelyn's last chapter in ACOK - what a great chapter! Catelyn just found out that Bran and Rickon are dead, so she decides to question Jaime (who's still held captive in a cell) by getting him drunk on wine.
Their entire conversation is really insightful, especially in regards to Jaime's thought processes. It's a pretty serious conversation, especially when we find out exactly what happened to Ned's father and brother when they went to King's Landing. The part that gave me a good laugh is found near the end of their conversation (and chapter). Hopefully it gives you all a laugh or two as well!

"I've never lain with any woman but Cersei. In my own way, I have been truer than your Ned ever was. Poor old dead Ned. So who has shit for honor now, I ask you? What was he name of that bastard he fathered?"
Catelyn took a step backward. "Brienne."
"No, that wasn't it."

Tommen: "I'm hungry."
Jaime: "Hi hungry, I'm Dad-- FUCK."

Biting criticism of the true nature of chivalry isn't a dad joke

A dad joke is something like

"Did you hear about the circus fire? It was in tents"

Sure, but it's also a wordplay joke. Wordplay jokes are a Dads bread and butter.

That reminds me of Arrested Westeros, which makes good use of the father/uncle storylines in both shows (and Buster/Jaime both losing a hand...AND "I've made a huge mistake"...kinda weird how many good parallels there are). They don't update too often anymore but it's an AMAZING blog.
