Humor Columns

...generally aren't very humorous.

 

Reggie Hayes out of the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel still writes a "cheap shots" column which has been known to be picked up by a few other papers. He is pretty effortless, which makes it work, of course, I work with him, so I'm a bit biased. The competition tried to follow suit, but it's cringeworthy more often than not. Actually, it's always cringeworthy.

 

We've been over this one before...it is just once a year.
Everyone has their own opinion, but I think Collier's Trite Tophy is masterful (and not just because I work w/ the guy):

My small paper has one, but it's only funny if you're over the age of 65 and severely out of touch with modern times.

 

Leno writes it?

 

What is the name of the small paper?

 

Sadly[?]... numbers 2 and 3 will have to be removed from JackFinarelli's list.

 

We still run a speak up for people who live in the area, so it might as well be a humor column. One lady sent this in.

"I just moved to Rocky Mount, and I must say, I'm disappointed. Everywhere I go there are orange trash bags lined up every 100 yards or so filled with trash. I'm not sure who is throwing this garbage on to the road, but I'm doing my very best to pick up these bags and put them in the proper place. Come on Rocky Mount, we can do better."

If you haven't figured it out, the orange trash bags are the roadside service our inmates perform. They pick the trash up and someone throws the garbage away a couple days later. We laughed about that Speak Up for months.

 

That's Rocky Mount for you.
