Nothing like a little Harry Potter humour before bedtime.

[Walking along the passageway after lecture; me to my next class, Eunice to her 3 hour break before Forensic Science]

Me: We have come to the parting of ways.
Eunice: Haha. Bye, Fudge. [walks away, down the steps]
Me: Haha. [thinks a while as she walks on; then stops and calls back] Wait a minute. Why am I Fudge?!

And here's some Lord of the Rings, just for fun!

SCENES FROM
LORD OF THE RINGS
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
USED AS SETUPS FOR BAD
COMMERCIALS HAD THE
FILMMAKERS NOT
RESPECTED THE
MATERIAL.

(A grief-stricken KING THEODEN surveys grassy mounds, peppered with white flowers, outside the walls of Edoras. GANDALF watches with great concern.)

THEODEN: Simbelmyne. Ever has it grown on the tombs of my forebears.

(GANDALF places a comforting hand on THEODEN's shoulder.)

GANDALF: And ever will it, thanks to the Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed system. (Hands him the product.)

Note: The Harry Potter scene takes place right before (in my opinion) one of the great great lines in the series.

"But if you're going to work against me - "

"The only one against whom I intend to work," said Dumbledore, "is Lord Voldemort. If you are against him, then we remain, Cornelius, on the same side."

from Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
