Comma’s Save Lives…..Or Do They?

[jpmcwjr]

This is a sign I see every day on my block. "Slow children playing". And I say the same thing every day.... "Make them hurry, they might get run over".

When I call my bank, I always end up talking to this one guy who says, “Is there anything with which I can help you with today?”

I get a good chuckle every time.

Not an issue with commas on this one but here's a street sign that I found to be extremely profane, vile, heinous, repugnant, vulgar, and just flat out inappropriate and uncalled for.
