Disclaimer: As always, no copyrights were harmed in the making of this fanfic.
(Scene: A room in the Hornburg. After Aragorn has dramatically flung open the doors.)
Théoden: A great host, you say?
Aragorn: All Isengard is emptied.
Théoden: How many?
Aragorn: Ten thousand strong at least.
Théoden: Ten thousand?!
Aragorn: (ominously) It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the world of Men. They will be here by nightfall. But I have good news, my lord.
Théoden: I have need of good news. What is it?
Aragorn: (cheerfully) I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
(cue uplifting music)
~the end~
Note: This, of course, is based on a series of Geico car insurance ads that were running in the US a year or so ago. I have no idea if Geico is known outside the US or not, so apologies to anyone who is confused.
