Unfortunately, the key turned out to be for Lotho's storehouse.

Fortunately, it was filled with good food.

Unfortunately, the hobbits ate it all and didn't have any left overs.

Fortunately, they enjoyed eating it.

Unfortunately, they ate too much and got stomachaches.

Fortunately Saruman had a cure for their stomach aches.
Having them bungee jump off Orthanc.

Unfortunately the bungee cords broke.

Fortunately, their fall was cushioned when they
landed on a pack of wargs passing by.

Unfortunately, the Wargs were hungry and thought of the falling hobbits as mana from heaven.

Fortunately, the hobbits were armed.

Unfortunately for the wargs, the hobbits were armed
with feathers, and, as everyone knows, wargs are
very ticklish. :D

Fortunately for the Wargs, their buddies the Orcs were passing by.

Unfortunately, the didn't stop, and continued passing by.

Fortunately, in exchange for not tickling them, the wargs
gave the hobbits rides all the way to the Green Dragon.

Unfortunately, the Green Dragon was close for Thanksgiving.

Fortunately, they arrived on Boxing Day.

Unfortunately, Frodo was promptly challenged to a boxing match.

Fortunately, the match was with Rosie Cotton.

Unfortunately, Rosie had been the boxing champ for five years running.

Fortunately, Thief Frodo always used some brass knuckles
he had stolen from Gollum when he sparred with other hobbits.

Unfortunately, they were too big and fell off his hand.

Fortunately (for people watching), the sky turned pink, giving the fight an amazingly ridiculous backdrop.

Unfortunately, this was caused by a factory that made pink paint exploding in Hobbiton.

Fortunately, no-one was harmed.

Unfortunately, no one was harmed.:p

Fortunately, the factory had taken out a good insurance policy in case of explosions.

Unfortunately, a stray dragon fireworks set off by
Merry and Pippin caused the explosion so the insurer
made them wash hundreds of dishes.

Fortunately, they broke all the dishes and so got out of washing them.

Unfortunately, Gandalf used a particularly potent
wizard's spell to put the dishes back together
(after all, it was his fireworks dragon :mad: ).

Fortunately, all the hobbits were immune to magic by this point.

Unfortunately, this was not magic at all, but the power of persuasion.

Fortunately, the hobbits were adept in the art of ignoring wizards.

Unfortunately, Gandalf turned the hobbits into something,
unnatural, until they agreed to do the dishes.

Fortunately, the hobbits did not mind, as this provided them with another opportunity to have a feast with their new unnatural friends.

Unfortunately the dishes multiplied exponentially because the hobbits still won't wash them.

Fortunately, the exponent was -1, so the dishes disappeared rapidly.

unfortunately mathematically speaking -1 would make the dishes disappear then reappear...

Fortunately, Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong (Mrs.) stated strongly, in a
letter to The Times:

Btw, his wife objects to all this sex on the telly.

Unfortunately, singing lumberjacks still existed.

Fortunately, they only live in Harad.
