The actress Margaret Anglin left this note in the dressing froom of another actress:
'Margaret Anglin says Mrs. Fiske is the best actress in America.' Mrs. Fiske added two commas and returned the note: 'Margaret Anglin, says Mrs. Fiske, is the best actress in America.' Or this, from a George Will column: Huge doctrinal consequences flow from the placing of a comma in what Jesus, when on the cross, said to the thief (Luke 23:43): 'Verily, I say unto thee, This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise' or 'Verily, I say unto thee this day, Thou shalt be with me in Paradise.' The former leaves little room for purgatory. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
