The Magistrate On Punctuation Having done away with the rules of punctuation, all manner of ruin visited upon civilization, when wrongly assigned each mark to its destination, and rendered uninhabitable the once sovereign capitol of exposition --- (now foreign as a chinese baby's babble) the sentences' pale death rattle trembled and broke and dashes dashed like cowards from battle, and commas and semicolons awoke to find all decency had long fled, and order & disorder slept in the same bed, and periods and question marks had sped off lickety-split to join the rabble.
