Fortunately, Sharkly couldn't make a profit from it, so gave all of the stoneware back to the hobbits.

Unfortunately (very unfortunately) a Wallmart managed
by Ted Sandyman, on the site of the the old mill, sold the
stoneware cheaply by paying Proudfeet (Proudfoots?)
minimum wage. Bill Ferny was the greeter.

Fortunately, the Wall-Mart was burned down, and Ted Sandyman went with it. There was much rejoicing!

Unfortunately Bill Ferny survived and saved most of the money from the Walmart.

Fortunately (for hobbit society) he put the money
into a sub prime mortgage scheme in Hobbiton
and his insurance company was taken over in
Strider's bank rescue plan.

Unfortunately, all of Bill Ferny's savings he used for a ridiculous campaign for mayor of the Shire.

Fortunately, everyone found the campaign very entertaining.

Unfortunately, during the campaign, Ferny set up the system of Lockholes again.

Fortunately, Gandalf appeared out of nowhere.

Unfortunately, Gandalf UNCLOAKED!

Fortunately Elessar arrived and everybody got distracted.

Unfortunately (for Gandalf), Elessar forced Gandalf to re-cloak

Fortunately Arwen cheered everyone up (except her
daddy) by announcing: "Toga Party!"

Unfortunately, Arwen's daddy grounded her.

Fortunately everyone (except Elrond)
went to her gramma's "Come as you are"
party (except for Gandalf-who had to
first get cloaked).

Unfortunatey the cieling fell down on them while the were PARTAYing.

Fortunately, the ceiling was made of jelly.

Unfortunately it was also made of peanut butter.

Fortunately, no-one was allergic to peanuts.

Unfortunately, the jelly WAS allergic to peanuts.

Fortunately (not for the jelly though), the people in the party ate the jelly.

Unfortunately the peanuts were contaminated by salmonella.

Fortunately no-one ate the peanuts.

Unfortunately, no one ate the peanuts because they were genetically modified peanuts.

Fortunately (for the peanuts), the genetic modification gave them sentience

Unfortunately, the peanuts were eaten by someone who didn't know what 'genetically modified' means.

Fortuntaely (for the peanut eater), it didn't matter whether or not they knew what it meant.

Unfortunately, the party came to an abrupt end by hobbits from the Health & Safety department

Fortunately (for the spirit of the party) the hobbits from the Health & Safety department were eaten by a dragon that had suddenly appeared.

Unfortunately, the dragon that ate the officials started eating everyone at the party including Will Whitfoot.

Fortunately (but not for the dragon) the party
continued for everyone quite enjoyably
inside the capacious stomach of the dragon.

Unfortunately, the dragon had the most terrible indigestion and regurgiated the bemused Hobbits

Fortunately for hobbit hygiene, their mums showed up
and marched them right back to their hobbit holes to
be cleaned up.

Unfortunately, the dragon was now hungry again.

Fortunately seeing Gandalf uncloaked had quite put him
off a carnivorous diet so he went to Mama Eoreth's Diner
for some veggie burgers.

Unfortunately, Gandalf was now hungry... and naked.

Fortunately he (Gandalf) roasted and ate the dragon.

Unfortunately Gandalf was a vegan.

Fortunately, Dragons were actually vegetables.

Unfortunately, they're broccoli. (Ugh!)
