From where are you looking at it?

An English teacher known to be a strong lady, wrote these words on the blackboard: “woman without her man is nothing”.

She then turned towards the students and asked them to punctuate the words correctly.

The boy students wrote: “Woman, without her man, is nothing.”

The girl students wrote: “Woman! Without her, man is nothing.”

There you go…
