Comma Tide

Workers enjoying a dip in the sea at Fless Press Holiday Camp were suprised to be engulfed by a influx of commas at high tide.
Millions of these essential phrasal pauses surrounded a group of workers as they played a sporting game of Water Polo. Quizzed by Fless Xpress on the commas appearance, the Fless Pless workers gave ambiguous answers. “While to all intents and purposes they seemed like regular flotsam or algae bloom, they somehow gave the eerie impression of controlling the tide, like a current or a force.”
Fless Xpress asked famous grammarian Less Tress her opinion on this matter. “It is simply ungrammatical,” she stated. “Commas act as clausular pauses [Or pausular clauses? - Ed.], and without content to give them context they lose all meaning .” She denied that the sea was a sufficiently meaningful content (or context).
