Punctuation, motherfucker! Do you know any?

In everyday life, certainly at some point everyone encounters someone with the same runon abilities as our correspondent here. I’d say it’s more likely to be the verbal equivalent of that, and from my days on the phone at AOHell, I can guarantee that anyone who has ever worked tech for even a little slice of time will know this to be true.
