Daily Dose of Whacky Headlines

Laughter, Just what the Doc Ordered

Published on April 8, 2005 By Dr Guy In Humor

"Alabama Crash Kills Five, Two Each From Tennessee and Georgia"--headline, Associated Press, April 4

2 + 2 = 5. New math!

"The House Subcommittee on Crime will take up a bill intended to curb gang activity on Tuesday afternoon, but some juvenile justice groups call the law misguided."--CNSNews.com, April 5

They might want to include all afternoons. Gangs are not limited to one day a week!

"MADD Hosts Lunch for Officers Enforcing DUIs"--headline, WIS-TV Web site (Columbia, S.C.), April 4

Officer, did I do anything wrong? Sorry son, you are not drunk enough to drive!

"Council to Consider Tax Status of Resurrection"--headline, Crain's Chicago Business, April 5

Well, it was bound to happen. Now they want to tax not only death, but the afterlife as well!

Every head line is a death to someone. If we are to cry at every one, then we might as well die. I am sorry for your friend, but to me and the other 99.99% of this planet, the headline was just that. A headline.

This was listed under humor for a reason. Because it was silly or stupid. Not because we mocked anyone. Did we mock anyone?

How many times have you laughed at stupid and silly things that may have been hurtful to the victims of those incidents?

Before casting stones, best make sure you are not in a glass house.

Dr. Guy, I can understand it hurts losing a friend but the headline WAS silly. So Kim taking it out on you was really uncalled for .. But if you really want to look at the headline and what she said to you I think one family should be mad. The headline'Alabama Crash Kills Five, Two Each From Tennessee and Georgia' only counted four people then Kim said 'one was my best friend' and 'two 17 year old kids are dead, and a 25 year old college med student has been taken out of this world' so she only counted at best four people. What happened to the 5th person? If anybody should be mad it should be their family
