Got the following from a friend, there was no attribution!

Proofreading is a dying art, wouldn't you say?


"Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter"
This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the
other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote
this. It took two or three readings before the editor
realized that what he was reading was impossible!!!
They put in a correction the next day.

   
I just couldn't help but sending this along.. Too funny.

One of my own favorites is;

"Local Man shot dead!"

Hey, shoot him again maybe he can be shot alive!

Thats funny. I make Duct Tape Wallets, so the Red Tape-Bridge headline was particularly amusing.
