Gandalf The White Returns As Gandalf The Black Upon Hearing About $1 Million Reparations
Babylon Bee ^ | 5-02-2023 | Babylon Bee

RIVENDELL — Gandalf the White has arrived with haste at the house of Elrond, suddenly referring to himself as Gandalf the Black. According to the iced-out wizard now wearing a black robe, word on the street is that the Elves are paying out $1 million in reparations, and he is here to claim his bag.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to get that bread, homie!" said Gandalf the Black walking over and leaning on his pimp cane to greet Master Elrond. "Now where's all that paper cheddar I've been hearing about, Big E?"

According to sources, Elrond made an uncomfortable and confused expression moments before Gandalf pulled him in for a complicated handshake that they had never done before. "Gandalf, my friend," said Elrond. "You cannot pass as black. These reparations are not intended for you."

"Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks, playa!" replied Gandalf the Black. "I pity the fool who tries to pass! Now fly, fool, and get me my money."

At publishing time, Gandalf had been asked to leave Rivendell after once again trying to prove his authenticity by speaking the Black Speech of Mordor.

For $1 million, I’ll put on some black face and move to California.

Exactly, they started this respect for self identification requirement.

Well, to tell the family secret, my grandmother was Dutch.

Followed quickly by a rash of robberies, murders and overdoses.

It seems they haven’t thought this through.

Some part of these “Reparations Nuvo Riche” will be formerly productive workers who will stop working once they become millionaires.

Much more money now chasing fewer goods and services.

Can you spell “Hyperinflation & Shortages”?

He was Gandolf the Gray until he fought the Balrog and fell down into a death and was "resurrected" as Gandalf the White.

I heard on FR that he was known as the Gandolf the Gay because the actor is a poofter.

That’s the actor not the character.

I heard him called Gandalf the Pink for that reason.
