I have always enjoyed Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynn Truss because it comically explains the importance of punctuation on intended meaning. I was looking around the internet today to see if I could get myself in a better mood when I stumbled upon this great image:
WHAT is in that Blizzard? Seems like a throwback to Swift’s “Modest Proposal” to me. 😉
If you found the image funny, maybe you should check out Eats, Shoots & Leaves, or even “Semantricks” by Lewis M. Gediman.

It reminds me of the Addams Family movie where the family is at a school open house and is offered a thin mint. She asks the hostess (in a thoroughly deadpan manner) “are they made from real Girl Scouts?”

Hahaha, you’re right. I remember that scene. Also, a couple years back, Dairy Queen had a flavour that had Girl Scout cookies, and they fell victim to the same problem.
Cheers,
