Subject: RE: BS: Ever more ridiculous 'news' headlines
This isn'ta haline, but a really funny TV interview I saw last month.
There was a hurricane threat to eastern Canada. The News host stated that there is fear that potential strong winds could damage farmers crops, (such as apple producers). The news then went over to a reporter, who was conducting a live interview with a farmer in a field. (Clearly there was not a pre interview). He asked the farmer what impact a hurricane could have on his crops. The farmer replied "none". The reporter asked, "oh, why not"? The farmer replied, "because I am a potato farmer, and patatoes grow underground. Dead air followed.
