The Oxford Comma's Funeral

At the funeral for the Oxford comma, three speakers gave eulogies: the grammarian, the editor and the journalist. The grammarian wept: 'Without you, I once invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin to a party.' The editor nodded solemnly: 'You prevented so many disasters.' The journalist shrugged: 'Honestly, we stopped using you years ago. We needed the space.' The Oxford comma's ghost appeared briefly, hovering between the last two mourners, exactly where it belonged.
