Sticklers unite!


It's good to know you're not alone. If a misplaced punctuation mark has ever made you cringe, then Eats, Shoots & Leaves is for you. While it's not ROTFL-funny, it gave me a few LOL moments in a nearly deserted library.

What's with title? If the illustration on the cover doesn't make sense to you, here's what the back blurb says:

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."
