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 send this along. Too funny.

Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash, Expert Says ....................................................No crap, really? Ya think?

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-so's!

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 .................................................................... Ya think?

Cold Wave Linked to Temperatures .................................................................................Who would have thunked!

Enfield (London) 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 .................................................................................................Do they 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!

And the winner is...​

Typhoon Rips Through Cemetery; Hundreds Dead .......................................................Did I read that right?

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle). We all need a good laugh, at least once a day!
 
Hospitals are Sued by 7 Foot Doctors ..................................................................................

It does not state this:

"Hospitals are Sued by 7-Foot Doctors."

That is, there is no hyphen.
Therefore, visually, I am okay with the original
headline.

You are correct, the last one is a winner.
I'll add one but it's not exactly as yours.
The light at the end of the tunnel has been disconnected due to budget cuts.

I particularly liked the one about red tape holding up bridges. So much for needing engineers. SK should be glad he retired just in time.

We now only need mathematicians to tie up the knots of the red-tape - the only application of knot-theory.
