izzy	BS: Funniest Tabloid Headline Ever (63* d)	RE: BS: Funniest Tabloid Headline Ever	08 Aug 03
Hmm...some of these are getting just a little bit tasteless... ;) A thoroughly unexceptionable one from a New York newspaper in 1929 (at the time of the Wall Street crash) read: Stocks Start to Fall, Drop a Little Bit More Five Million Shares Change Hands Read it out loud and you'll see what's wrong with it! Also the beginning to a newspaper article (from a David Crystal book --example of a misprint): "The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York has joined a group of Orthodox Rabbits in condemning the 'Life of Brian'." It doesn't get much better than that! BTW, M C, I love the Caledonian/Celtic headline. Whoever came up with that should be given some kind of award for linguistic ingenuity. Genius!! Cheers, Isabel
