"I was paying attention to the cheesebread"

At dinner last Friday, we were doing a weekly quiz, and the cheesebread was
coming out of the oven. Aragorn loves quizzes, and is very competitive. That
night, however, his main disadvantage (being a male teenager) became his
downfall. He completely missed one question, being engrossed by something
else. When he was called back from his thoughts, he apologized by saying:
"Sorry, I was paying attention to the cheesebread."
