Gandalf - geat or a joke of a wizard?
I don't believe Gandalf was a Geat. I am more inclined to think he was an Angle, concurring with Pope Gregory I and his comment that Angles were angels ("Non Angli, sed angeli"), particularly considering the Maiar were referred to as "angelic" beings. And therein is the joke as well.
