There is a book "Eats Shoots and Leaves" that gets at the importance of knowing when (and when not) do deploy the punctuation:

I also enjoy how meaning of a whole sentence can be inverted by a bit of punctuation:

a. "A woman without her man is nothing."

b. "A woman: without her, man is nothing."
