A stranger showed up at Faramir and Eowyn's wedding reception, and began telling the guests that he should be King of Gondor instead of Aragorn.
"Haven't I seen you someplace?" muttered Faramir. "I know: you hang out at that seedy coffeehouse where everybody says that the war against Sauron was all Aragorn and Elrond's fault because Aragorn and Elrond are prejudiced against one-eyed demon lords!"
"Why, that's right!" Eowyn chimed in. "Your crowd also wants to prohibit Dwarves from mining coal, and force all children to be taught to speak Entish whether they live near Ents or not!"
"What can you possibly have to offer," Faramir demanded, "to convince us that YOU have any right to be King?"
The stranger smiled broadly. "I'm for CHANGE!"
Faramir and Eowyn suddenly smiled back. "Oh, that's different! Why didn't you say so sooner?" "Anyone who says the word 'change' is obviously meant to be King!"
So, before the day was over, Aragorn had been deposed, and the stranger was made King of Gondor.
