A Second Oxford Comma Cartoon

With the oxford comma, the sentence implies that the individual had eggs, toast, and orange juice separately. Without it, the sentence implies that the individual had eggs and toast with orange juice on it.

  1. ...or the individual is telling the toast with orange juice on it that the individual had eggs.

    Similar to: Happy Birthday, toast and orange juice! You are wishing 'toast and orange juice' a happy birthday.
