Where Does The Comma Go?

I had a conversation with a friend about the English language and some of the things it does, or doesn't do. We both came to the conclusion that English is a germanic language with other language influences and easy it isn't.

For instance, take the comma. Just where does it go? In this sentence: "The quick brown fox jumped over the dead rotten log". We see no comma and the meaning is clear so now we insert a comma.
The, quick brown fox jumped over the dead rotten log. OR The quick, brown fox jumped over the dead rotten log. And then again The quick brown fox, jumped over the dead rotten log.
The meaning of the sentence seems to change with each insertion. But why stop with just one comma?

The, quick brown, fox jumped, over the dead, rotten log. Additional reading s can be achieved by placing the comma's in other places.

So we propose that congress abolish the comma or find a different substitute. This should bring that body of legislator's to a complete halt for some years to come.

As always that is how we see it.
