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."
Umm… marvelous. I saw this book (Eats, Shoots & Leaves) at Barnes & Noble (my earthly form of heaven) and knew I needed it the instant I realized it was a sweet illustrated edition. The closer of the deal? The price tag on the back. There is no price listed. Instead, it merely says “Sticklers unite!”
Uh-mazing.
