Another issue is that this is a joke, which is a performance rather than a formal piece of exposition.

Ah, time for another confession. I'm working on a how-to book on comedy writing. The working title is currently Writing Down the Funny Bones. A small sub-section on Tom Swifities is included in a section on puns and wordplay. Janit, along with a clear explanation on comma usage, also understands the tension between text that is meant to be heard, rather than read.

Once again, thanks to all,
