Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter
This one was caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and they called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.

Too funny! I often question the reliability of anything we read in the publications these days. Especially the newspaper.
Some of these are quite clever and others are just dumb. I always tried to have my students write goofy headlines in the yearbook just to see if anyone would notice. My warped sense of humor!
I did a lot of research on nonprofits up your way yesterday for the microfinance startup for whom I work two days a week. Please check back at my blog to read more about what we are doing and how you could help.Our first company and credit union are in your city.
I'm not sure that Pabst is even beer, period.
That was very funny , the one that caught my nerve was "Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter" , can't stop laughing :)
nice one
Thanks for the mid-week lift in spirits. I sometimes wonder if editors ever read their own papers.
Hi Sylvia ~ We are still in Tahoe so have limited computer time, and sometimes can't get a signal.
Laughed so hard at the refrigerator message!!!
The first was the best! I had to pass this one on!
I've seen these before but they always make me laugh. Have committed a few myself, but not on refrigerators and not in headlines. Whew.
I haven't laugh that hard in a while, thanks for the chuckle, Sylvia. Love that first one!
Sylvia, thanks for the early morning laugh. I liked the one about the red tape holding up a bridge. Typical thing to see in an Indian newspaper.
hilarious!
thank you for the laughs!!
I love stuff like this! My favorite kind of humor. (It's as gray here in Veneta OR as it probably is over there where you are -- so I can use the laughs.)
Great series of oneliners... enjoyed reading them. :)
Very good, I really enjoy your sense of humour.
The last one is hilarious
