Hi all:
In the spirit of last week's "Church Bulletin Boo Boos" blog, I present these headlines that apparently appeared in some newspaper somewhere in 2006 (these have been making the e-mail rounds, so I'm not sure of their original source - but they sure are funny, especially the asides beneath):
- Crack Found on Governor's Daughter
Imagine that! - Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash, Expert Says
No, really? - Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers
Now that's taking things a bit far! - Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over
What a guy! - Miners Refuse to Work after Death
No-good-for-nothing' lazy so-and-sos! - Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant
See if that works any better than a fair trial! - War Dims Hope for Peace
I can see where it might have that effect! - If Strike Isn't Settled Quickly, It May Last Awhile
You think?! - Cold Wave Linked to Temperatures
Who would have thought! - Enfield Couple Slain; Police Suspect Homicide
They may be on to something! - Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges
You mean there's something stronger than duct tape?! - Man Struck By Lightning: Faces Battery Charge
He probably IS the battery charge! - New Study of Obesity Looks for Larger Test Group
Weren't they fat enough?! - Astronaut Takes Blame for Gas in Spacecraft
That's what he gets for eating those beans! - Kids Make Nutritious Snacks
Taste like chicken? - Local High School Dropouts Cut in Half
Chainsaw Massacre all over again! - Hospitals are Sued by 7 Foot Doctors
Boy, are they tall! - Typhoon Rips Through Cemetery; Hundreds Dead
Did I read that right?
My favorites are 3, 4, 6, and 17. What are yours?
As a writer/editor, I'm constantly trying to make sure boo boos like this don't make it into my work. It's pretty hard sometimes!
Enjoy!

Ha ha. They're all funny!
Glad you liked 'em! The precise placement of words is so important for the meaning of the sentence, ain't it?? :)
