Eats, Shoots & Leaves

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual 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."
This is the premise of a new book by Lynne Truss, a UK writer and journalist. She just published a book called Eats, Shoots & Leaves. It looks pretty interesting. I'm sure I could use it!
Thanks to Tony for the link.
