GRAMMAR IN A NUTSHELL

A high school teacher gave his co-ed class this sentence to punctuate:

'Woman without her man is a savage'

The guys punctuated it as - "Woman without her man, is a savage."

The girls punctuated it - "Woman! Without her, man is a savage." !

A panda walked into a cafe'. He ordered a sandwich, ate it, then
pulled out a gun and shot the waiter. "Why?" groaned the injured man.
The panda shrugged, tossed him a badly punctuated wildlife manual and
walked out. And sure enough, when the waiter consulted the book, he
found an explanation. 'Panda', ran the entry for his assailant, 'Large
black and white mammal native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves'

In 2003 the book on grammar 'Eats, Shoots & Leaves' by Lynne Truss
whose title derives from the above joke, became a runaway best seller
in Britain. A year later it became a best seller in the US. It is a
funny look at bad punctuation. Maybe the first time a book on grammar
has become a best seller. For more info, Google 'eats shoots and
leaves'.
