Misplaced Modifiers -- how to correct?

trouble with many correct usages, they ARE BOOORING. Many times stretching the rules a bit makes for better reading. YOU DECIDE but I liked the first version, it was clear and albeit a bit clumsy, it actually was more interesting because it predisposes the scene to some mischief the cat may intend. It would present itself best because if you had the cat go nuts and dump all the dishes, the way the action was set up was just enough to make the scene visual. ANYWAY, a table surrounded by dishes wouldnt sound logical at all to me.

"Throwing the horse over the fence some hay", or "Throw mama from the train, a kiss"
is, of course , done to purposely engage our funny bones , not , as many believe, to pile ridicule on poor ignorant Pennsylvania Dutch or Jews. JEws and Germans actually , their native tongues, like that, speak. SO does Yoda, I think Yoda was Jewish anyway.

That would only be true if the comma were not present.

If you're a native English speaker, don't waste your time on this nonsense. Wasting time on this is only for English teachers who don't know enough about language to teach real issues.

If you're an ESL/EFL/EAL, then forget about this nonsense completely.
