Re: Bilbo's sense of humor

Two classics I love...

When Sam's caught listening outside Bag End when Gandalf's telling Frodo of the ring, he says,
&quot;Don't let him turn me into anything unnatural. My old dad would take on so.&quot;

And Gandalf's rejoinder to Pippin in Rivendell:
&quot;I shall go unless they chain me up. There must be someone of intelligence in the party.&quot;
&quot;Then you will certainly not be chosen, Peregrin Took!&quot;
