Did you ever come across a sentence or phrase in Tolkien's works that made you laugh because it brought a funny image to mind? I seem to be running across a lot of these lately... here are some of them:

Legolas and Gimli were to ride again together in the company of Aragorn and Gandalf, who went in the van with the Dunedain and the sons of Elrond.

Hmm.. makes me think of our heroes piling into a dirty, psychedelically painted old hippie van, with bumper stickers on the back: "I brake for half-elves," "Honk if you're a descendent of Numenor," etc.
The Ringwraiths, tired of being slaves to a dark lord, decided to go on vacation to a tropical island. They lounge under beach umbrellas and drink colorful beverages. Occasionally the Witch-King will lean over and hiss, "Hey! Khamul! Would you put sunscreen on my back?"
Any others you've come across?
