Tolkien Humor: What makes us different?

[THE Ka]

yes! finally someone has broke the ice! we're unique because we have are own other different level of humour!! and Elennar i too have seen that same sign, or another one like it! ... proubly due to the fact that i live in washington state... weird.... well, anyway, i think what makes me laugh the mosts is lines from the hobbit... especially when Bilbo helps the dwarfs escape the elven prison by stuffing them in barrels... no wonder that every time when i see a barrel or wooden container floating in puget sound i begin to laugh.....

oh this hapless earth there's small sincerity of mirth,
and laughter oft is but an art to drown the outcry of the heart.
