A colon can really change the meaning of a sentence.

For example:

- I ate my friend's hamburger.

- I ate my friend's colon.

See the difference it makes?

Yes, I digested the meaning of your post.

Better than eating a period I guess.

I didn't think there was any gold left in colon jokes. Well done.

What if I ate both?

Too many calories!

If you eat both it's a colon, but if you eat one it's a semi-colon.

Comma now, stop being silly.

As the Greek god of punctuation Apostrophe once said, "don't question, Mark".
