Gandalf Must Have Had A Tough Time At The Airport
NSA Agent: “It says here that your name is Mithrandir.”
Gandalf: “Well it is, but only to some.”
NSA Agent: “I see.”
Gandalf: “In Rohan, I’m known as Stormcrow.”
NSA Agent: “Rohan…is that in the Middle East?”
Gandalf: “And of course, when I’m deep underground, I’m known as Tharkûn.”
NSA Agent: “So you’ve been in caves recently?”
Gandalf: “Mines, mostly. Marvelous places, that.”
NSA Agent: “Your DNA matches someone named Olorin. Know anything about that?”
Gandalf: “I did, once, but that was a long time ago.”
NSA Agent #2: “We’ve got a witness who says this guy is known as ‘Greybeard.’ Travels with a giant staff and a band of lunatics looking to throw a ring into a pit of fire.”
Gandalf: “Greybeard…yes, only by those who seek darkness.”
NSA Agent: “We’re gonna need you to come with us, Mr. The Grey.”
Gandalf: “It’s actually ‘The White” now.”
NSA Agent: “Yeah, sure it is.”
