Just finished rereading Men at Arms, and I can now definitively state that Benton Fraser and Carrot Ironfoundersson are not the same individual. Here's how you can tell.

After spending a year in the big city, Carrot is showing a new recruit the ropes:

"When you've been here a while, you'll understand how it all works," said Carrot. Here'n'now's head banged on the curb. "Eventually," Carrot added. "But it does all work. You'd be amazed. It all works. I wish it didn't. But it does."

And then. Well:

"Personal is not the same as important."

Which differentiates Carrot from Fraser and also pretty much the entire human race, as far as I can tell. Maybe Aragorn could pull off that line with a straight face?

Also, for whatever subset of people read Pratchett and watch Carnivale: I've got Vimes in my head as Jonesy, and, disconcertingly, Sybil as Rita Sue. Mrrgh.
