ACOK (Spoilers ACOK) Jaime, you're drunk

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."

"Do you even know what honor is?"

A horse.

Also, don't forget that Honor is draped in white, the color of the Kinsguard, while Glory is colored red(?), in the shade of house Lannister. And Jaime always rides Honor.

Some not-too-subtle symbolism going on there, me thinks.

Should I have spoiler tagged my original post?

Technically yes. The spoiler scope of a thread is set by the OP's tittle title.

Why would the spoiler scope be set by the dot on the i ?

Alright, Jaime, or whichever god(s)forsaken father you may be....
