The wizards have been to the Free Concert and go out for coffee. The Dean tries to improve the coffee and the shop is filled with foam. Eventually the foam subsides (as Ridcully arrives and glares at it) and the wizards slowly emerge. Coffeeshops were a big part of the counter culture.

Not necessarily my favourite but it was possibly the one that got me hooked on Discworld way back near the beginning;
The scene where Bravd and Weasel are on a hill, discussing the fire in Ankh Morpork, was directly parodying the scene from one of my favourite author's books - Fritz Lieber's Swords series where the great city of Lankhmar was burning.

Speaking of the witches ... I just love the extended luncheon scene in "Maskerade". (I've been performing music - opera and otherwise - for the past 15 years, so just about all of "Maskerade" is one of my favourite Pterry books.
It's clear that he had so much fun writing it).
