Lynne Truss Quote
A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.Why? asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife annual and tosses it over his shoulder.I'm a panda, he says, at the door. Look it up.The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.
