Along the same lines, I'm still pissed off at a misleading book title....Nigel Mansell, The man and his Triumph.

Outright bloody lie, no Triumph in there at all....

In a previous life I prepared a small town newspaper. One of the things I covered was the council going through the process of approving refurbishment of the public toilets. It was a bit of a big deal because it was quite expensive. Anyway it finally got passed at a council meeting and I wrote the story and created the headline I am most proud of from my time there. "Council passes motion on toilets". I laughed and laughed when I saw it on the newsprint and sat back and waited for the complaints. Still haven't got one.

Nice one Oakie!
From our local rag today. First line of the article says police are worried that stolen firearms may get into the hands of criminals! Bahahaha!

Mental health patient escapes, and on the way he sexually assaults the window cleaner lady.

Next day's headline reads: "Nut Screws Washer And Bolts"

I used to prepare the same in a North Island town ... I came to believe that people were too stupid to get the jokes like that ..
