My friend Alice asked me why it was called the Return of the King. I said because Aragorn bacame king. She look surprised and said "Aragorn becomes king? Of where?" I saw the chance to do some inventing and took it:
"Yeah, didn't you guess? Aragorn is actually half mermaid, he goes to the sea and gets all the fish t join the war. The eagles fly the fish to Mt. Doom where they release them into the lava, so that the fish can watch over Frodo and Sam."
She actually believed me until her common sense kicked in (approximately 6 seconds).
