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...

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.
