Effective Punctuation in Sentences

"All the faith he had had had had no effect on the outcome of his life."

"A panda bear eats shoots and leaves."
(and its companion)
"A panda bear eats, shoots, and leaves."

I like the first one's lack of punctuation because it makes people uncomfortable. Yes, I'm probably a horrible person for saying that, but being able to read that sentence correctly is what I consider to be a small triumph. It's one of those things you have to read aloud.

I like the second pairing, of course, because the punctuation is the only differing factor and the two sentences have completely different messages. Most people use the "Let's eat Grandma," example to illustrate this point, but I like my example better. Pandas are cute.


But be careful of this panda.  This panda has guns.
