Tolkien Humor: What makes us different?
I have a theory: I believe that Tolkienites have their own particular brand of humor. It shows itself by causing a person to suddenly collapse in fits of giggles at things other people don't seem to see. For example, particular lines in The Silmarillion, and MANY quotes of Shakespeare cause me to start laughing, although they are not particularly amusing.
I'd love to hear from people who have had similar experiences! Can anyone explain this phenomenon? Let me know!
