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.''
