An amusing example (from a book) of the confusion missing punctuation
can cause is..
A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a
gun and fires two shots into 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 an explanation
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China.
Eats, shoots and leaves."
