My favourite language joke:

What's the difference between a cat and a comma?

One's got claws at the end of its paws, the other's a pause at the end of a clause

*fixed order

But a comma goes before the pause.

yeah doesn't even work with the classic joke format, in which the words switch places. I'm sure the joke should actually be:

one has claws at the end of its paws, one denotes a pause at the end of a clause.

Yes I did mix up the order of the words cause of poor sleep. Thanks for correcting
