Commas Save Lives

Did you know that one little comma could SAVE YOUR LIFE? Observe:

"Let's eat Grandma!" (Oh, the horror!) -vs.-
"Let's eat, Grandma!" (Ahhh, much better!)

"A panda bear eats, shoots, and leaves." (What the-? A criminal panda bear?) -vs.-
"A panda bear eats shoots and leaves." (Ok, I get it. They were describing the panda bear's diet.)

See the difference?

Please, do your part. Appropriately use a comma; save a life.
