| A panda walks ino a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. "Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. the panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. "I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up." The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds and explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
I'm loving this book --check it out!
"Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss BTW, she also suggests that we all become "sticklers" and demand good puntuation in chat and emails -- can you imagine returning plue-pencilled spam to folks? oh the humanity!
