Perhaps if Butterbur had been chosen to go on the Quest, we wouldn't have had this discussion.

Haha, I bet we'd be reading Gandalf saying, "Fool of a Butterbur!...This is a serious journey, not an innkeeper's walking-party. Throw yourself in next time and you will be of no further nuisance. Now be quiet!"
but just don't give him the ring. They'd get half way to Mordor and he'd be muttering something about how there was something he was meaning to tell them but he could not remember what. And it wouldn't be until they got to Mt. Doom that he would remember: "Now what was it I was going to say? One thought drives out another...oh yes! I meant to tell you that I gave some orcs that silly ring you had me keep..."
But of course that would never happen since Butterbur is a very shrewd man, and would know better to give some orcs the one ring. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
