A panda walks into a restaurant and takes a table. The waiter thinks it’s a bit odd, a panda walking into a restaurant , but he approaches it nonetheless. The panda grabs a menu, opens it, and points to a cheeseburger.
The panda gets his cheeseburger, savors every bite, even wipes its mouth with a napkin. Then the panda pulls out a gun and shoots every person in the restaurant. Everyone except for the waiter. Soaked in blood, he can only ask the panda, “Why?”
The panda pulls out an encyclopedia. It flips the book to the P section, places it on the bar, and points to his picture. Then he turns and walks out the door.
The bartender leans down and reads the entry next to Panda:
“Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”

This is an old one that shows how a minor bit of punctuation — in this case a comma — can totally change the meaning of a sentence. It’s so well known, in fact, that it became the title of a book on on punctuation. It’s also kind of funny. So I posted it.
Have a nice day.
This is why you can never trust a panda…
Well, yes, there is that, too.
Bastards.
