Although you have to admit, it would have been pretty funny had Gwaihir, at the end of the book, flown up to Frodo and said something like,
"Y'know, I could have flown you to that darned mountain, and we would have been done with this thing before Christmas! Guess Gandalf got a little forgetful in his old age. Oh well. At least you got some exercise on this journey, and met some cool spiders! Should have asked Shelob for an autograph! It's not every day you meet the nastiest creature in Middle Earth! Wanna watch me do spirals in the air?"
Frodo would then proceed to pummel the heck out of Gandalf. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
