    Punctuation too:

    “A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

    “Why?” asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife annual and tosses it over his shoulder.

    “I’m a panda,” he says, at the door. “Look it up.”

    The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

    Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”

    ― Lynne Truss, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation

    You see a panda walk into a bar, duck down on the floor and get to the nearest exit. They be cray cray.
