Snow flurries have been in the air for the past two days. Fortunately, the temperature is warm enough that nothing sticks. On the bright side, temps are due to move upward into the weekend.
For your midweek dose of satire, let’s continue the creative challenge (for those desiring) by taking the information in the headlines (and only in the headlines) to make a new headline. Any ideas?
Otherwise, any favorites in the list? Enjoy, and have a good rest of the week!
Investigation finds appalling conditions in Cosmopolitan magazine Male-Pressure Lab
Applebee’s to offer divorced father and child specials every other weekend
Report: Small businesses fail in first 6 hours of being on fire
Internet users demand less interactivity
Unicycling bear’s agent has long list of demands
Clothing catalog creates unrealistic expectations for shirts
Cocky attempt to operate ATM in Spanish backfires
Farm subsidy blown on farming
Naked woman biting pearls near curtain likes perfume
Photo of crying woman on cover of national newspaper
Man who willingly rented Wrath of the Titans feels his intelligence has been insulted
Impossible to tell if frazzled women in Walgreen’s uniform going to or coming from work
My combination: Investigation finds cocky naked woman unicyling at Applebees
OK, I’m a woos. But this is one of my pet peeves: Photo of crying woman on cover of national newspaper — Because they always have to have pictures of folks crying. It’s disgusting.

I like ‘Cocky attempt to operate ATM in Spanish backfires’. Not only because it contains the word ‘cocky’, which is an awesome word, but also because I once made a cocky attempt to operate my cell phone in Portuguese. This cocky attempt was rather short lived….
Happy mid-week Frank!
