This discussion on commas brought back a memory to me. I am sure a number
of you are familiar with Red Dwarf. In one episode Rimmer is dictating:
"I believe - comma - that I can - comma - safely - comma - say - comma -
that the - comma - race - comma - who placed - comma - this - comma - . . .
. . . ."
I am sure you get the idea.

"Reason is always a kind of brute force; those who appeal to the head rather
than the heart, however pallid and polite, are necessarily men of violence.
We speak of 'touching' a man's heart, but we can do nothing to his head but
hit it."
- G. K. Chesterton, "Charles II" Twelve Types
