I get what you're intending. Grammatically, it can go either way. Hence the famous eats shoots leaves reference about the misplaced comma. A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."That's probably the best, but for succint: Let's eat, grandma. before or after she gets runned over by a reindeer?
