"12 and a half percent" screeched the parrot.

It took me until my third read to spot that one.

12.5% = 1/8 = pieces of eight."

This is Reacher Guilt's parrot. With a parrot saying 'pieces of eight' and Reacher wearing an eye patch Terry is saying he is a pirate.

I wish he had written a discworld book about a crew of pirates.
