This really made me laugh, when Faramir first met the Hobbits, and his men are discussing what they could possible be:
"Not Orcs," said another, releasing the hilt of his sword, which he had seized when he saw the glitter of Sting in Frodo's hand.
"Elves?" said a third, doubtfully.
"Nay! Not Elves," said the fourth, the tallest, as it appeared the chief among them. "Elves do not walk in Ithilien in these days. And Elves are wondrous fair to look upon, or 'tis said."
"Meaning we're not, I take you," said Sam.
I made my brother read it too [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
