Borrowed from rec.humor.funny…
‘I’ve started reading a popular book on punctuation and the abysmal state of its use, given to me by a friend of mine, “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” by Lynne Truss. Encouraged by her book, people sent her examples of idiotic punctuation. One–sent in by a Shakespearian actor–was a sign that said, “Children Drive Slowly.” The resulting brouhaha prompted the town to revise the sign.
‘It now reads, “Children, Drive Slowly.”’
If you don’t know what’s so funny here then I suggest you get someone to edit and proof-read your writing.
