Amusing news headlines

[Shut Up Legs]

I'll start with this pearler:

Yes, I know gun control is a contentious and controversial subject, but I couldn't help finding the above headline amusing. If you haven't followed the link: yes, the owner is still alive, but will have a sore foot for a while.

From a long, long while ago. Daily Telegraph, front page, RH column, IRRC:

"Troops Sent to Polish Village"

I chortled at this too. Who says that Americans don't get irony?. They certainly do it with flair!

I liked the one the other day about the search for the fugitive Mexican drug lord: "El Chapo Fell Off A Cliff"

Somehow it told the story and made guy seem like such a pantomime dick.
