Power of the Comma

What I learned today in Obligations and Contracts:

Today, we talked about the power of punctuation marks. If a misreading of one comma in the Civil Code can confuse your professor, you can just imagine the tragedy that four commas in a single provision can do. To illustrate, he was so confused he preferred to talk about Sesame Street instead.

Apparently, Big Bird had very few choices in life, and this is not even one of them.

Ah, the joy of law school. Another lesson learned.
