Are you stressed from just thinking about the holidays, even if you don’t have one coming up?
Do you need a little reminder that you’re not the only doofus who screws things up at work?
Well, this is your lucky day!
I’ve got a few more real live examples of headlines next to random pictures that were printed on the front page of my local newspaper–things that an editor should have caught, but didn’t. All of these occurred in about a two-week period. If you want to see the first set of newspaper gaffes, click here.
Enjoy!

This must be what that no No Child Left Behind policy is all about. If they are all at their desks during physical education time, then no one will be left behind on a track or on a field.

Up in our neck of the woods, kids develop technical skills on computers and on the Web. It’s this kind of education that will help them get the jobs that will be downsized when they grow up.

Typically, we find that younger students give teachers the most trouble, but sometimes, these older students can be very sassy. They think just because they’re over 90, they can say anything they darn well please.

I don’t know about you, but “love” and “guns” just doesn’t go well together unless you’re writing a gangsta rap song, which I don’t thing these guys are doing.
I’m still on the look-out for front-page funnies in my local newspaper, so expect to see more. Well, maybe the editor got fired and that’ll put an end to this series.
Just so you know, I blotted out anything that identifies people and places so as not to embarrass the guilty.

I’m always picking up blunders in the movies too. I wonder why they aren’t caught by their editors…or whoever they are that are supposed to do that job. Nice to see you back, Lorna.

Our paper already dishes up plenty of laughs…now I’ll be on the lookout for these kind of gaffes!

Hahaha, come on, the dog photo was funny 🙂
I suppose they have no idea they are suppose to report the news.

You know, my great nieces just turned on the parade and I actually made a comment on how Indian-focused this year’s parade is. The whole room turned to look at me like I am an idiot. Sigh. They’re right. Or maybe I’ve already been cooking for too long!

Yeah–wouldn’t that make a great headline for today? 😉

Well show them to us–I would love to see them, if only to know that our local newspaper isn’t the only silly one!

Pop over any time, but you’ll be accompanying me to my sister’s home. I don’t cook turkey. I prefer them alive and running wild, not on a platter!
Glad you enjoyed the post. I had to get my licks in before my company arrived and I’ll be off the airwaves for a few more days…

I hope you and yours have a lovely Thanksgiving. We don’t do that here, but I always wish I could pop over for a small. well OK then , large plate of turkey. Thanks for reminding me I’m not the only one sailing in the sea of incompetence. always brings a smile to my face

Oh gosh, you should see some of our headlines. Loved your post Lorna.

Perfect post for the day the Indians fed us and we repayed them by killing them all. Well Done, Lorna!

I don’t know if they see them or not. If they did, you’d think I wouldn’t have such a big collection…

There are so many of these type head lines that just have me rolling on the floor… I just wonder how Editors get away with them… surely they see it as well.???
