Peej writes, "My mate Tony's dad used to weigh the breakfast cereal in the morning to make sure everybody got an equal amount and the pack provided the exact amount of servings advertised on the packet. I learned from this that the recommended serving size on a cereal packet isn't enough to feed a sparrow."

boring fact for you
long contracts such as sale agreements, leases etc often do not have any punctuation marks in the clauses. this is to prevent them from having unwanted emphasis, or subsequent arguments over the meaning of the marks, eg whether a list is intended to be closed/exhaustive or not. so if you have a list, eg:
the tenant will put and keep in repair maintain decorate clean replace the carpets fixtures and fittings reinstate any damage from time to time as necessary
blah blah, you don't have any commas or anything else.
