Punctuation is Important

My son, Andrew, told me that there is a sign at his school, an all-boys school, that states:

No boys are allowed to queue in this corridor.

One of the boys has added a comma and an underline with the result that is now states:

No, boys are allowed to queue in this corridor.

Isn’t that just the perfect example of why punctuation is important?
