Puns, riddles, and jokes (outside of linguistics)

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Maybe Faramir had a sudden burst of foresight? Who knows? One of my favortie jokes has always been this:

"You'll live to regret it, young fellow! Why didn't you go too? You don't belong here; you're no Baggins-you-you're a Brandybuck!"
"Did you hear that, Merry? That was an insult if you like," said Frodo as he shut the door on her.
"It was a compliment," said Merry Brandybuck, "and so, of course, not true."

I just find that extremely amusing. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
