That's right, bitchezzz! Today is National Punctuation Day. Who is excited? I am; as is my friend, Macy. We're nerds and we love it.
Why do we need punctuation? I'll let the author of Eats, Shoots, and Leaves tell you. She writes:
"A panda walks into 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 an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
Badda-bing. It's important, I tell you!
Seriously, though, go get the book. It's hilarious.
