This is an awesome list! I’ll have to save some of these for story ideas. My fourth Thursday Thirteen is up!
Too funny!
Have a great Thursday!
I love these. Headlines often have me scratching my head. They leave out words and sometimes aren’t reflective of the article below them. Maybe I should start saving them.
I love headlines like that. LOL. THanks for sharing. My 13 are up.
These were awesome! I love this kind of stuff, you’d think professional writers would be a little better able to catch this kind of thing. I guess it’s good for us that they don’t.
I sure needed the laughs today.
I have no TT but this was one of the funniest I’ve read in a long time!
Heh. Took me a moment to figure out WHAT those drunks were doing in that violin case.
LOL! 😀 Those are hilarious! 😀 Great List. 🙂
Have a good day. 🙂

Hi.. funny stuff… thanks for stopping by THE COUCH…and your post above about the book store was hilarious!
Good evening, Jenny! What a great list – is it just me or have you noticed how the news has progressively dumbed down over the past few years? Anymore, when I watch it – or read a headline – I just want to go Duh! I say, Bring back the copy editors and proof readers! Quick! Have a great weekend and thanks for dropping in on my Christmas music rant!

These are so funny. Thanks for sharing & for stopping by my TT @ http://thismomsjourney.wordpress.com/2006/11/30/25/
I loved those, very funny!
I saw a sign once at a small diner/gas station that said
“Eat here,
get gas.”
Not much to say – but am laughing to myself. I like your blog – and have to say if you did get that book as a gift you would be protected I think by law if you did gouge the giver’s eyes out with a fork.
hahahh you crack me up! Great list (damn! Wish I had thought of it!)
I need to link to you on my sidebar – every time I come here and read your stuff, I love it! (Must do this before year end. Nudge me if I don’t!)
Thanks for stopping by my “Horrifying” 13! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
