These are pretty funny.

Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter
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.

I just couldn't help but send this along. Too funny...

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!

I laughed so hard I was crying. The one about the kids is hysterical.

That is hysterical!! Thanks for sharing. I always wonder how these things get into print. If anyone here watches Jay Leno, he does a piece on these blunders every week, usually Monday or Tuesday night and I always get a good laugh.
