It's all in the punctuation

English Lesson
An English professor wrote the words, "woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.

The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."

The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."

Funny thing is I agree with both statements. It's exactly what men and women think! Though of course the women's statement is entirely more true. ;-)

Punctuation and word order can drastically change the meaning of a sentence. Your post reminded me of a hip-hop song I heard the other day: "We don't go to high school; we go to school high."

Jeez. Impressionable kids are listening to that stuff. And that was the radio edit.
