These are really funny, but sorta sad ---if you think about it. People are 'hired' to proof-read this kind of stuff BEFORE it gets printed.... Wonder if these 'proof-readers' took their morning pills from the Duh Can?????? Heaven help us!!!!!
Have a wonderful day---and be careful what you put in writing!!!!! Har Har Har

I love to start the day with a laugh! Thanks Betsy.
Sunny :)
Great way to wake up!
Thank you for the laugh.
Oh, the beloved human language can be so darn funny.
I don't know if I feel sorry for the Panda, or the Veternarian???
These were fun to read Betsy! Gave me my 1st laugh this morning! Now I can get back to studying....darn!
Hugs,
Shelley
Thanks for the humor, Betsy....It's great for starting off another beautiful day ....how's your weather?
Enjoyed the chuckle Betsy. The panda picture took a while to load and I was wondering what picture you had found for that.
Much tamer than where my imagination was going.
Thanks.
Thanks for getting my day started with a smile. I think I got up on the cranky side today so these helped a lot.
Happy weekend to you and George!
I just love reading these things and yours had me laughing and sharing them with family. Have a very blessed day and weekend.
I'm happy to start my morning off with a chuckle anytime.
Funny stuff, Betsy! Have a great weekend! :)
You really know how to get us smiling!! :-)
A laugh to start the day. I love all of them. Thanks for sharing a laugh.
I'd never seen these particular ones before! Your comments underneath were great! I do the same kind of comments with TV commercials! Thanks for a hearty laugh today! You are so right about wondering where the proofreaders are!
Oh Betsy, too-oo funny. Thanks!!! MB
Thanks for the Funnies, Betsy! That's a good way to start the day!
Thanks for the giggles, Betsy!
Betsy you are one busy gal.I had a really good comment but I forgot what it was DUH... Have a great day
I hadn't seen them before, Thanks for the chuckle, Betsy.
Thank your for the smile to start my morning;) I always enjoy Jay Leno when he reads absurd advertisements from newspapers.

Thanks for the great laugh .... you're right about these 'quotes' being a bit sad though. I'd be embarassed if I was the proof-reader.
We recently saw a local TV "news" broadcast and they announced the next feature, "And now, live from the cemetery..."
Haha, just like my Naked Crisps - without salt.:)
These are funny, Betsy. Thanks for the Friday morning chuckles.
AWESOME BETSY !!! xoxo
Bwahahaha! These are great.
Maybe it would be better if we thought of them as trying to give us a laugh??? I bet they got a lot of chuckles...sure did from me.
That has me ROLLIN! My eyes are watering cuz I'm laughin so hard.
Betsy I had a good chuckle reading these headlines!
My writings could often use an editor as I'm perfectly imperfect. :-)
these are hilarious. thanks for the laughter. I chose recycling for mine today. let me know what you think
I'm grinning and giggling.
V ery Funny Betsy. I can tell you what happend.My grandmother and grandfather worked as proofreaders for the San Diego Union.When they retired proof reading became a forgoten art they were the last of there kind.(LOL) (True)
~~Hugs~~
Thank you for sharing these. They were hysterical!
ha!ha1ha!...you had me in stitches!!!i am still smiling- the laughter has died down a few minutes after i read the winner - while typing my comment...ha!ha!ha!
thanks for sharing these, betsy!you just made my friday evening even better!
have a wonderful weekend, you and george!
eng
Gave me a belly laugh....
I think the people who proof read have maybe left the building ?
Thay are funny, mistakes or not.
:0
Oh my. These gave me a big laugh! I love things like this. Your comments were funny as well.
Even after a very busy day,these made me laugh.You have to wonder about the wisdom behind some of these statements,and how they made it into print.Lol
Blessings,Ruth
Some of those I had to read a couple times to get what they were trying to say. I have to say though that first one has to be the winner.
Those are pretty funny. Those misplaced modifiers can change the meaning in a hurry.
Meems
Those were great!
Very funny.
MY Laugh For The Evening...
Funny Betsy, absolutely Loved them...
Glad you posted these to make me SMILE...
My Best~Marilyn
Those are just too funny Betsy. It is amazing how one word out of place can change the entire meaning of a sentence. I agree on the winner, how on earth did that one get past the proof reader.
Funny stuff: I like the "Cold wave linked to temperatures" best.
Too Funny...m.
Thanks for the laugh. I really needed one today (see my email).
I often wonder when I see these type of bloopers in the news. Aren't journalists supposed to go to university to study written English?
Hey! I just noticed your side bar. I am the same Chinese animal as you.
Betsy: You don't even have to try to make these errors.
These are hilarious. Loved your comments, too.
I had a lovely laugh at this post, Besty. I needed it and you provided it. Bless you. (((Hugs))) Jo
I'm still laughing! Thanks for the smiles and giggles. Love and Light, Nina P
I received this in an e-mail from a cousin and went to the web to find pictures to put with it - I'm making a ppt of it for my newspaper class. We are creating the first newspapers for the university were I teach, in Beijing, China.
Thanks to your site - I'm using the pictures already appropriately attached to some of the headlines!!
Thanks, again!!
Effe Simpson
