Arrow to the Knee meme spreads

where has it surprised you?

from Elemental Forums
Just for fun. Was watching Hobbit 2 (Desolation of Smaug) and one of the Dwarves (Gimi, I think) actually takes an arrow to the knee. Share where an "arrow to the knee" has blindsided you?

Because they did not want to put the arrow several inches higher!

Gimli was a kid in the Hobbit 2. That was his dad. It was in the  conversation between his dad and Legalos.

Gimli was a kid in the Hobbit 2. That was his dad. It was in the  conversation between his dad Legalos.

And Legalos was a promising young lawyer that was sent to the tenants of Barad Dur with vacation orders. Back in those days, he was not afraid to deliver a few "cease and desist" notes of his own making.
