With these ones, the addition doesn't need any changes to be made to the plots.
I don't recall any murders in 'The Hobbit'.

We have a guy at work with a really bad stutter.
Unfortunately, his 95 year old nana just died.
We were already halfway through "hey Jude", before he finished breaking the news.
Dying to live, living to die.

Why doesn't William Lane Craig join the AF?
Because he would quickly get banned for rape apologetics.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

What's the difference between a comic book nerd and a biblical scholar?
The nerd isn't tax exempt.

A lawyer meets with the family of a recently deceased millionaire for the reading of the will.
‘To my loving wife, Rose, who always stood by me, I leave the house and $2 million,’ the attorney reads.
‘To my darling daughter, Jessica, who looked after me in sickness and kept the business going, I leave the yacht, the business and $1 million.’
And finally,’ the lawyer concludes, ‘to my cousin Dan, who hated me, argued with me and thought I would never mention him in my will. Well, you were wrong. Hi Dan!’

That would have been even funnier if the song cited was the one from Steam:

A man is standing on a street corner in Moscow, holding a sign that says, 'THE PRESIDENT IS AN IDIOT'. Naturally enough, the police arrest him. As he is being dragged away, he says he meant the Ukrainian president.
'You can fool us,' the police say. 'We know who the idiot is!'

Wife: ‘We just ate. Why are you making pancakes?’
Me: ‘They’re for the cats.’
Wife: ‘Ok - why are you making pancakes for the cats?’
Me: ‘Because they aren’t allowed to use the stove.’
