Fun with grammar

This made me laugh out loud and force a shhhhh out of my husband.

http://twentytwowords.com/2011/11/21...grammar-geeks/

1. A comma splice walks into a bar, it has a drink and then leaves.
2. A dangling modifier walks into a bar. After finishing a drink, the bartender asks it to leave.
3. A question mark walks into a bar?
4. Two quotation marks "walk into" a bar.
5. A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to drink.
6. The bar was walked into by the passive voice.
7. Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They drink. They leave.

I will admit to having to look up dangling modifier since I couldn't explain the joke to my husband. And then I chuckled again.
