Avon strolled round to the head of the great Council table, to stand
beside
Elrond. He spent several seconds contemplating the Ring, which lay upon the table before the Elven Lord, then he looked up, and said, "Why do we have to walk all that way? Why don't you put it in a box and get one of those giant talking eagles to fly over to Mordor and drop it in the
volcano
for you?"
Silence. A long silence, as the Council of Elrond regarded one another sheepishly.
Finally, Elrond spoke. "We, err...we didn't think of that."
Brilliant, Anna!
I also like the answers given in "Bored of the Rings" to similar questions:
"Alas," said Goodgulf. "Alack."
