Have you ever caught yourself interpreting the punctuation in a book or somewhere in the style of chess punctuation?

An ever so slightly made-up example:

Mary: Do you know what day it is!? (Interesting move)
John: What do you mean? (Mistake)
Mary: It's our anniversary!! (Excellent move)
John: It is?? (Blunder)

I've started doing this everywhere exclamation and question marks appear! (good move)

Don't keep me in suspense....

Is it really John and Mary's anniversary and did John forget? (bad move).
