I just saw this and had to share:
An English professor wrote the words “A woman without her man is nothing” on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.
All of the males in the class wrote:
“A woman, without her man, is nothing.”
All the females in the class wrote:
“A woman: without her, man is nothing.”
Punctuation is powerful!

That is great. Both men and woman know that the opposite sex can’t live without them.
