Examples:
We should all thank Visiting Assistant Professor, John Smith, for his efforts.
Visiting Assistant Professor, John Smith gave a talk on civic duty.

I feel certain the comma before Professor does not belong in either sentence. But I can't find a definitive grammatical reference to prove it, nor is my grammar vocabulary sufficient to describe why it's wrong.
Help me out!

I call my dogs "idgits"...which means stupid idiots. I dont think anyone else ever uses that word but me. I sometimes say "footards" which means F'n Ret*rds. I know it aint nice, but I sometimes come up with really weird slangs and words from a slip of the tongue, but I continue to use them. You got one?

Two identical looking boys are sitting on a wall. A man walks up to them and says, "I don't think I've ever seen more identical looking twins." But to his surprise, one of the boys says,"Well, we have the same parents and we were both born on the same day, but we are not twins!"

How come?
