Humor for Writers - The problem with being literalHumor for Writers – The problem with being literal

 

A panda walks into a bar. He orders a drink and a meal. When he’s finished, he pulls out a gun and shoots a waiter, then turns to go. The barman shouts: “Hey, why did you do that?”

“I’m a panda,” replies the panda. “Look it up.” Then he goes.

The barman pulls out a dictionary and looks up ‘panda’. He reads: Asiatic mammal. Eats shoots and leaves.

    Okay, that hurt.

    The origin of this joke was a comment on grammar. “Eats, shoots and leaves.” was the punchline of the original, making a statement on the importance of commas. Leaving out the comma changes the whole meaning, so here the panda actually is NOT being literal.
