The same story in NY Times

I kind of agree with the judge's ruling.
If the law makers had meant to deny the overtime pay to those truck drivers,
they could have written it as follows,
...." packing for shipment or distribution of and distributing of ...."

This story is not only very funny but also at the same time very serious,
all because of missing a comma in front of a word.
It reminds me of the days in the high school, trying to comprehend English grammar.
Those of us who published any articles or books know so very well how particular
English grammar is and can be as these stories illustrate.
This is a good lesson for everybody who uses English.
