Not a headline, but something I saw in the NY Daily News crime blotter years ago (names and addresses changed).

“Also arrested were David Doe of 123-45 11th Street and Robert Roe of 112-23 Bayside Drive, both Queens.”

There was one in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that made me laugh yesterday:  
“Security fears  
dog Olympics”  
My first thought was…dog Olympics don’t sound scary at all to me. Maybe these security people should buck up or find a different job.

Endless fun on this scene, with incautious use of the verb “to dog”. A rather well-known one I think, but hard to resist in this connection:

“Voodoo Dogs Flying Doctor’s Planes”
