Alright, sorry about all of these, but having done Mandarin, Cantonese and French, I have to do one in Swedish, even though all of these are related to grammar, not punctuation. Especially since making puns is apparently a sign of mastery!
En man går in i en pub. Bakom disken står en bar man som olyckligt utbrister "Jag förlorade jobbet på grund av särskrivning!". This one almost works in English. Almost. A man walks into a pub. Behind the counter is a bar(e) man who proclaims unhappily: "I lost my job because of a mistake of word separation!".

An adjective walks into a bar with a piano entertainer, sits down and orders a beer. The piano player's monkey soon
jumps on the bar and urinates in the adjective's beer. The adjective yells to the piano player, "Hey, do you know your monkey just peed in my beer?" The piano player says, "No, but if you hum a few bars, I might remember it!" 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

A Sumerian Verb Chain walked into a bar, and cheerfully asked "Hi! Can I have a beer?" The bartender gave him a
dirty look and said "Hell no! We don't serve chains in this bar. Get out!" The Verb Chain walked out, disappointed, when suddenly he got an idea. He rolled around on the ground, getting straw and grass stuck to himself, and tied himself into a knot. He returned to the bar. "Give me a beer!' he said, in a deep voice. The bartender looked at him and said "Hey, aren't you that same chain that was in here a few minutes ago?" The Sumerian Verb Chain looked him straight in the eye, and said "I'm a frayed knot!" 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
