GOING:
In relative silence the Fellowship traversed the somewhat dilapidated byways of Moria. At last Pippin could contain himself no longer.
PIPPIN: I have this overwhelming desire to tell a joke
MERRY: Yeah? Well can it. I've heard all your jokes. Have some ketchup instead.
PIPPIN: There was this Dwarf and this Elf digging a ditch. And the Elf says to the Dwarf, "Dude, why are we out there digging a ditch in the hot sun while the Boss is sitting under the shady tree eating second breakfast?" And the Dwarf says, "I don't know, I'll ask him." So the Dwarf goes up to the tree—
GIMLI: Pippin! You're holding up traffic!
PIPPIN: Sorry.
Pippin scrambled up the next flight of stairs stairs, followed by Merry, Gimli, Trotter and Glarwenolas. They found Gandalf and the others pondering a three-way fork in the road.
GANDALF: Does anyone know—
FELLOWSHIP: No! Figure it out yourself.
Assured of a long wait, the Fellowship settled down to guzzle ketchup and sleep. Pippin suddenly sat up to finish his joke.
PIPPIN: Anyways. The Dwarf goes up to the Tree, and he asks the Boss—
FELLOWSHIP: Be quiet, Pippin!
PIPPIN: And he asks the Boss, "Why are we out there digging a ditch in the hot sun, while you're sitting under the shady tree eating second breakfast?" And the boss says "Intelligence." So the Dwarf says, "What's intelligence? So the Boss gets up and puts his hand on the tree trunk. And he says "Here. Try to hit my hand with your shovel." So the Dwarf takes a mighty swing and hits the tree, but the Boss removes his hand just in time, and the Dwarf gets knocked unconscious because he hit the tree so hard. When he wakes up, the boss tells him "That's intelligence." So the Dwarf is happy and goes back to the Elf. The Elf asks him: "Well, what did he say?" And the Dwarf answers happily "He said it's because of intelligence." And the Elf says, "What's intelligence?" So the Dwarf looks around, but there isn't any tree. So he puts his hand on his face and says "Try to hit my hand with your shovel."
Silence reigned. Boromir scratched his head and broke into a grin.
BOROMIR: Heh. That was...kind of...funny! Hahahaha!
ARAGORN: Yeah, you're right, It was! Hahahahaha!
They began laughing hysterically. Legolas, Gimli and Glarwenolas glared at them and Pippin. The other hobbits continued playing their game of GO FISH.
