Yep, commas are important...

Well, someone beat me to it, but I had it copied anyway.

A panda goes into a bar, orders a sandwich, fires a gun and heads for the door. "Why did you do that?" the barman calls after him. The panda tosses him a badly punctuated wildlife manual. "I'm a panda," he says. "Look me up." The barman finds the relevant page, which says, "Panda. Large black-and-white, bearlike mammal native of China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Heh.

Well, I just went and joined databases, in hopes that I can get some Access tips.

We have a similar joke over here, but you need to understand first that "rooting" = "having sex" for us. "roots" = "screws" (or "f***s").

Why is a man like a wombat?

Eats, roots and leaves.

Yes, there's a book about puncuation with the title Eats, Shoots and Leaves; someone at npr_junkie had heard the author being interviewed and wanted to know the rest of the joke. By the time I found it, about five other people had already posted it.

There was another Aussie version:
