A book has been published for you, Derrick:::::::


-**-->Eats,__Shoots__and__Leaves<--*-


It is the Runaway #1 Bestseller in Britain.       They are Cutting A 
Dash  --  The Radio_4 series that Inspired the Hit Book!!!!!!!

It goes like this:::::::


A Panda walks into a deli and orders a sandwich which he eats, then 
pulls out a revolver and shoots it into the air twice.

'''Why?'''       asks the waiter as the Panda moves through the door and 
throws a Wildlife tome of bad punctuation toward the waiter.       """I 
am a Panda"""   he replies;   '''look it up!'''

So the waiter complies and finds:       '''PANDA  --  large 
black-&-white-Bear-like  Mammal.       Eats, Shoots and Leaves!'''


Inspired by sloppy punctuation in email and  '''txt msgs'''  the Radio_4 
series was born and then the book.       Need I say more?!?!?!?!?!
