The idea came out of a conversation on Mark Prindle's facebook, where people were chiefly doing this with song titles and commas. Take the title of a song, work, etc *

and find a way to make the meaning of the title completely different by adding or changing punctuation. For instance, a couple of The Beatles examples would be "You! Never Give Me Your Money!" * and "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely, Hearts Club Band" *.
