Proofreading--a dying art?

Personally, I think people underestimate the intelligence of headline
writers.  I feel certain that some of the hilarious headlines we see are not
accidents...hehe!


Proofreading is a dying art, wouldn't you say?

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.

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!
