'They've taken everything, Sam,' said Frodo. 'Everything I had. Do you understand? Everything!'
"Yes," mused Sam, "I was going to ask why you didn't have any skin." This was just one of the many embarrassing moments that came about due to Orcs taking their orders far too literally. Another example was where they were told to 'pay the Gondorians a visit'. Which they thought meant, bring them all of Sauron's Gold.
