i dont think there is actual intended humor in the sil, but there r bits that can be taken a bit morelightly, and bits that r very clever, lik beren having the sil in his hand, it just not being with him....
this is one of the reasons the hobbit is the one i read again and again, bcoz its so light(and my sis is reading lotr). the sil is really deep and sad especially the story of beren and luthien (that made me cry). so i dont think its meant to be funny but it is strange how some bits make people now and then neway.
