(original source, typed out because an image for this seems silly)
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 of the females in the class wrote:
"A woman: without her, man is nothing."
Punctuation is powerful.
God I love me some women.

Of course, the women were right!
Read to yourself the following sentence and emphasize a different word each time: I love you.

I must agree with Auburn, the women are definitely correct with their punctuation.

That one is so brilliantly dirty. That's also probably the reason that I'd never heard it before.

Wasn't that the whole premise behind "Eats Shoots and Leaves"? (Which I've yet to read, but sounds like it would be right up my alley.)
