From Serpent in Paradise, a rather... different... LotR fic. Despite the following quote, it's not a comedy, but it does have its moments...

"If Mrs. M. faced down the Gestapo, live, at age twenty, then Sauron in a crystal ball should be a piece of cake. After all didnt Radagast say that his Evil Eye thing did not work on the Human mind? That should make it alright."
Minimauw, who had been cleaning her whiskers, while sitting on the table (She was allowed.Try stopping her.) decided to investigate that curious round object that was keeping her minders (dogs have owners; cats have servants) from paying attention to her, and delicately sniffed at the Palantir. Then she patted it with a dainty white-socked paw.
"I AM HERE."
Bristling up her fur, Minimauw became twice her size as she hissed and spat at the glowing ball.
"Oh my!" cried mrs. Mertens, "What brought that on?"
"Here we go again." said Franky., " One Big-eyed Evil, coming up."
"I SEE YOU!"
"How could you fail to, with an eye like that?"
"Mister van Ree! That was rude! " said Mrs. Mertens, admonishingly, " One does not poke fun at a persons handicap."
""But he is Sauron! "
"That is no reason to forget ones manners." said the old lady primly, and turned her attention to the Palantir.
"Good evening, mr. Sauron. I hope we did not interrupt you in anything important"
"Yes, like planning to take over Middle Earth!" quipped Franky.
"Mr. van Ree! Please!"
"I WILL FIND YOU. I WILL FIND YOU BOTH AND IN THE DARKNESS BIND YOU."
"Now now, there is no need for such threats. The young man is very sorry for his silly jokes arent you, mr. Van Ree? and he does apologise"
"YOU WILL SUFFER."
"Please dont take it like this. We dont mean to bother you. In fact, our problem would be solved, and we would not trouble you further if you could just clear the line on this Palantir"
