One of the problems with aural jokes versus visual jokes. The proper telling hinges on perfectly timing the pauses where the commas would be spoken; too short a pause would sound like a list Verb, Noun, Noun, too long would sound like a description of events, Verb, Verb, Verb.

Unless you are referring to the lack of an Oxford comma after shoots.
