"I'd like some beef, jerky."

And the infamous:

"My grandmother who smokes crack is 80."
-vs-
"My grandmother, who smokes crack, is 80."

Mark, I get the "beef jerky" one. But I can't see a difference in the two sentences above. How should I be reading the first one?

Well, I figured that much out on my own.

I just don't see how punctuation (no, Dan, not "puctuation"

) is going to help in Mark's examples.
