So in France in the 1500s there was an old tall church, and recently, the man who rings the bells grew sick and died. So the priest decided to hold interview for the job of the bell ringer. Nobody showed up but one man, he was a tall, strong looking man, but he had no arms. The priest, not wanting to turn anyone away, gave the man an interview, he seemed qualified but the priest didn't know how he would ring the bell, so he said no "Oh please father let me do it I'll prove myself, oh it'll be the best you've ever seen" the priest decided to give him a chance, they went up the winding stairs for a while till they reached the top. The man looked at the massive bell, but with excitement not fear, he was to ring the bell 5 times. He stepped back and ran full speed hitting his face to the bell, BANG. He stepped back, a bit shook up, but he shook it off and ran at the bell again, once again with his face, BANG. He did that two more times, then after the forth time He stepped back for the grand finale. He ran full speed and smashed the bell with such force it could be heard towns over, but with the force he was knocked back over the threshold and put if the tower to his death the priest ran full speed down the stairs to find a crowd around the mangled body of the of the armless man, a man walked over the priest and said "father who was this man who fell from the tower" to which the priest replied "I never caught his name but his face rings a bell".

I ejected my friend's PS3, which opened up LOTR: The Two Towers. He said, "I was too tired to watch the whole thing so I stopped halfway." I immediately responded with "oh, so you watched LOTR: The One Tower?" He just told me to shut up

Driving with my wife, saw one of those cell towers disguised as a tree. I point at it and said, "look hun, a phony tree!"

She said, "a what?" then looked at it and look back at me. I repeated "it's a phony tree!" A second or two later, eyes rolled follow by small groan.

Of course, a smile on my face for the next minute or two.

When Gandalf reveals himself in The Two Towers, we were all commenting on how he was the white wizard.

Me: "he's not Gandalf the Grey anymore!"

Dad: "he's now Wandalf the White!"
