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!!
