LMAO.

I enjoyed your editorial comments. It makes you wonder sometime whenever you see those things.

Saw the blonde pole dancer in an email recently. It was too risque for me to pass on. Yeah, I was hoping for the latter, but what can you expect from an old MCP. lol

Congratulations. At last someone knows how to spell the duct in duct tape. (I know, Duck Tape is a commercial use.) lol

Thoughts said...

I'm a little undecided about the pole dancer re:which one is better or preferrable...

I enjoy finding some of those headlines myself. I may now look to creating a list of my own, thanks for the idea... I think.... crap, another idea that I just don't have time for...

Hope yer having a great one

Thanks honey pie, I totally needed a laugh today. :)

And now I also need a new puppy. :)

Headline writers often don't proofread. Our local papers have funny stuff like that all the time, and NOT intentionally! The "miners refuse to work after death" reminds me of a recent story here in coal country... mines can't be inspected, because the inspector's air masks are not up to safety standards.

Yeah, skip finding out whether the MINE is safe!

Love the headlines, especially running down the jaywalkers.

Kids Make Nutritious Snacks--it ain't true. I've tried....recently. ;)
