The funniest newspaper article ever written

I DARE anyone to find a more hilarious article than this.

Snerk!

I’d have to be able to read it before I could comment.

When I did a search for the author’s name (to make sure it was real), I found that she had purposefully omitted that article from the online version of her newspaper because she thought it would serve as an embarrassment to the community for the whole world to see that.

Mission failed. Somebody just scanned it in and posted it online instead.

Not particularly funny.

What are you, a robot?

:smack:

:dubious:

Toro! Toro! Toro!

I liked the part where she tried to put the fire out by “throwing loose carpet” on it.

Never mind the article, feel the headline:stuck_out_tongue:

Typos ulre.

(It’s been fixed, but the Google evidence is still there…

And fellas, she’s single!

I thought what a retard when I originally read it. The problem is I’ve seen articles about people doing this type of stuff to many times for it to be the funniest.

Burglar victims wake to spice rub, sausage attack.

New home owner thinks hanging dead ex-owner is a manikin.

I didn’t think the article was particularly funny. Mildly humorous, perhaps, in a dumb-ass kind of way. But even the “this time it wasn’t arson” comment was made a little sad by the circumstances of her arson conviction.

I found it amusing because, as I read it, she seemed almost surprised that tipping over a lawnmower causes fuel to spill out… not a good idea inside… while smoking. The idea for a safety warning over something like “Fuel can catch fire if exposed to the red glowy bit on a lit cigarette” is, as I said, amusing.

But yeah, it was also pretty tragic. In more ways than one.

Oh, and that sausage-attack story is hilarious!

All good, but it’s the Irish who will always lead the way.

I really hope Caller won the trip.

Yes, can’t you picture him in a disco in Bali - it’s full of discos, most of them full of Australians - pissed to the eyeballs and yelling at all and sundry to “Goan f**k yourself!”?

There are some funny articles in this thread, but I still think the burglar with an alligator in the back of his car takes the cake.

Here’s a brief article with a picture: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351565,00.html

Here’s a more detailed article (sans alligator picture): http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/metro/5703545.html – Take particular note of the contents of his pockets (allegedly other stuff he stole from the house) and the presence of a second reptile in the car.

There are just so many amazing things about this story that it’s neigh impossible to top.

All kidding aside, all of our lawnmowers could probably stand a thorough cleaning.
