The Least Pointless Job

(I have a great-uncle who is a well-known sword-master, and is the lead sword-master for several big movies, including ‘Lord of the Rings.’ My fiancé and I are watching the first movie together.)

Me: “I think he was [Uncle’s] best pupil, if I remember rightly.”

Fiancé: *dubiously* “What… him?”

Me: “Yeah. No, not the orc! Him!”

Fiancé: “Oh, Aragorn!”

Me: “Yeah. Well, not literally Aragorn. If he’d trained Aragorn, he would have had about 500 more awesome points than he already had.”
