It wasn't Gimli's actions, actually. For some inexplicable reason, Frodo had a flashback to the day when he fell out of a tree, and was spanked soundly by his mother (this was waaaay back when) for climbing said tree. Even he couldn't tell you what triggered the flashback, but it was supremely unpleasent. (It's a little known fact that Primula Brandybuck was known as "Primula the Pounder").

It is also a little known fact that Bilbo forgot to record one of the riddles Gollum asked in their riddle competion. What was it, and what was the answer?
