From Mandos to Feanor: "Not the first."
[dead silence]
Okay, maybe I'm the only one who found that funny. But seriously, if you look at the context, it does seem rather funny. Or maybe I just have a strange sense of humour.
Here's another I always find amusing in the Silmarillion:
(Glaurung speaking to Turin) "Thankless fosterling. outlaw, slayer of thy friend, and deserter of thy kin."
That probably shouldn't seem funny, but everytime I read it, I can't help but laugh. Poor Túrin.
*looks around uneasily* I do have a strange sense of humour...
