The best headline ever

I remain partial to one I once saw in the now-deceased Fort Worth Evening Star-Telegram: "Mummified man found in house."

 

Isn’t this like 10 years old?

 

Tony Peters was a defensive back for the Browns and the Redskins from 1975 to 1985.

One year the good ol' boys at my local paper
ran this headline over that day's NFL roundup:

Washington Must Play with Peters Out

 

There was some headline involving Houston Nutt and quarterback Casey Dick at Arkansas at some point over a decade ago that caused some mirth.

 

I just gave myself a funny. Got a presser about local students attending a symposium at a local hospital. My dream hammer hed:

Playing Doctor

 

Minnesota defeated the Lakers in an exhibition game in the British capital once.

"Howuuul! T'wolves win in London "

 

"Casillas Plugs Lett's Hole" made it into an Arkansas sports section back in the day. Same paper at about the same time had this lead headline for a hurricane story: "Fran's Furry Felt."

 

Hope you let it go in one ear, out the other. My "lecture" came after a feature about all the banging and beating at Martinsville that got a headline of "Virginia is for rubbers."

That lasted for about 30 minutes on the NASCAR website -- long enough for all of us to get a screenshot -- until PR in Daytona Beach had a hissyfit and had the ME replace it.

 

Still can't beat the best Minnesota headline ever: "Fertile woman dies in Climax." Fertile and Climax are small towns in the Red River Valley, near Fargo/Moorhead.

 

Got this one on a Mississippi woman accused of making bestiality videos with her dogs:

SICK PUPPY

 

Love the lone readers comment.
