I'm not trying to rob you, Gandalf had said. But as soon as Bilbo turned his back, out came the grabby hands.

Well done everyone on providing many laughs.

Bilbo and Gandalf stared at the smoke ring for a minute, concerned, as neither one had actually taken a puff yet.

Gandalf stared thoughtfully into the distance, pretending to listen while Bilbo tried yet again to sell him on a pipeweed multi-level marketing scheme.

Great captions, everyone! This was a super tough choice between Gwai's and Narv's, but at the end of the day, the mystery of just where that smoke ring came from has got me.
