Funny but incorrect on several counts. To make the image true, it would need to read: " Without the Oxford comma: we invited the strippers JFK and Stalin." You'd need to lose both commas, and uppercase their names. Odd that Oxford is uppercase. I suspect that this is simply trolling since one who knows of the Oxford comma would surely not make the mistakes they did.

I use the extra comma. The issue is Stalin and JFK could be considered an appositive instead of a list. This has forever solidified the comma before the and for me.

It does. But as we're talking about the English language, the same rules apparently do not apply in Canada.

Secondly, you "ain't" referring to English, just American English. Where did English originate? Oh right, same place Mormons came from.  Now don't get me started on the American colon.

 It needs a convenient rack fort he paddle, a cooler, beer holder, and a tray or table for food, books, etc.. Then it would be perfect.
