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 :

I have simiar things like this.
"Save him not hang him" (it is a telegram received by a jailer who is in the process of executing a capital punishment). This is basically a survival and death matter.
if the jailer reads this as "Save him not, hang him", then it is gone. On the other hand, if he reads like this, "Save him, not hang him", means he has to stop the execution process. It is about someone's life, do you agree?
Similarly,
"Chhodo math maro" (in Hindi)
If some one understands like this, "chhodo math, maro", (meaning dont leave him, beat him); on the other hand if this is read like this, "Chhodo, math maro" (Leave him, do not beat him), both make a lot of difference, right?
thanks.

Am I ok with my Translation SK Hadirji?.... : )

And death can be the step to Mahasamadhi if one is aware of it....

Here is another one : A school principal commented that punctuations were unnecessary. Responding to this, the next day, the teacher wrote the following on the staff room board " The Principal said the teacher is a fool."
When the Principal saw this he smiled till the teacher went on to put in a couple of punctuation marks after which the statement read "The Principal, said the teacher, is a fool"

It means "WOMAN, not only can give happiness but can lead a MAN towards SUCCESS PATH, PLAY MULTIPLE ROLES which a MAN cant do. At the same time, WOMAN, can even be the cause for destruction"
We should never under estimate a WOMAN because, ALMIGHTY itself had blessed her with MULTIPLE SKILLS, which a man can't even dream about it.
