LOL. I've seen this one before.

 

[AZ Jim]

I'm assuming we're talking "Little Red Riding Hood"?

 

[oakapple]

Like the book 'Eats shoots and leaves' and 'eats, shoots, and leaves'.

 

[SifuPhil]

Mmmm ... nothing like some Grandma and a side of baked potatoes ... yum!

 

[Meanderer]

...with a steak of course...well done!

Not too well-done, otherwise it will be just as tough as Grandma ... she needed a LOT of tenderizing!

:hatoff:

I've always enjoyed being placed upon a pedestal ... I suppose you could say I'm a pedestalphile. :cower:

Commas saves lives...Missed periods cause lives!!

 

[Meanderer]

 

[Ralphy1]

And a little sour cream with that baked potato...

 

[Pappy]

Maybe a couple well placed commas here would have helped.

 

[Ralphy1]

Yes, pregnant children should definitely be allowed access...

 

[DoItMyself]

What's the difference between a cat and a comma?

One has claws at the end of its paws, the other is a pause at the end of a clause.

[Falcon]

What's that lying in the road, a head?

Even after she got run over by a reindeer?

Only because we are criticizing punctuation, I want to ask about the correct usage of verbs. Shouldn't the verb "save" be "saves?" I was always taught that the verb and noun must agree. The correct sentence should be; "Commas Saves Lives." Right or wrong?

The shortcut I was taught was to think:

"Commas" (they) "save lives".

"They save lives".

If you go the other way -

"They saves lives".

Then it's just up to your ears to figure which one sounds better.

Phil is correct.
