  4. "If you reheat that awful meatloaf one more time I'm getting a divorce" Tammy said to David her third husband.

and my answers are down below:
  1. Well, is this your final day at work?
  2. After the doctor reset it, her broken arm mended perfectly.
  3. The wedding gifts included a clock, a popcorn popper, a plasma TV, and seven toasters.
  4. "If you reheat that awful meatloaf one more time, I'm getting a divorce," Tammy said to David, her third husband.
  5. John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.
Addendum (entered Sept 22): And here are the Professor's answers, with their commas in the right places.
  1. Well, is this your final day at work?
  2. After the doctor reset it, her broken arm mended perfectly.
  3. The wedding gifts included a clock, a popcorn popper, a plasma TV and seven toasters.
  4. "If you reheat that awful meatloaf one more time, I'm getting a divorce," Tammy said to David, her third husband.
  5. John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.

Two mistakes for me, but, of course, I wouldnt call them major mistakes.
