You read this book sm?

Eats, Shoots & Leaves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.
"Why?" asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"Well, I'm a panda," he says, at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

I remember a much different version to that joke doing the rounds at school, I think it would need to go in over 18s section though.(or is it 18`s)

I haven't! I've heard a lot about it though-is it worth a read do you think?

I read everything as well as routine!
But if I'm going to actively read something-I need to know it will be worth the amount of time it'll take

As I said, I did notice it too-things like that stand out to me as if they're bold and underlined in red lol.

Thanks both-I'll see about borrowing it from someone!
