One Man Lord Of The Rings

Charles Ross, one-man star of One Man Lord of the Rings, pauses to take a poll of his audience in the break between the first two books. "By way of applause," he says, "how many people have seen the Lord of the Rings films?" The room breaks out in furious clapping. "How many people have read the books?" Much less applause this time. "Okay, applaud if you've neither seen the films or read the books." One brave soul claps valiantly.
