下雨天留客天留我不留


朋友寄来的 “Punctuation is important!”:

An English professor wrote the words: “A woman without her man is nothing" on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.
All of the males in the class wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing."
All the females in the class wrote: "A woman: without her, man is nothing."

就想到小时候老师讲的下雨天留客天留我不留的典故。比较熟悉的是这个:

下雨天留客,天留我不留。
下雨天留客,天留我不?留。

有人可以把它改成更多花样:

下雨天留客,天留我?不留。
下雨,天留客;天留我不留!
下雨天,留客天,留我?不留。
下雨天,留客天;留我不?留。
下雨天,留客天,留我不留?
