Best Ever Newspaper Headline ....?

Ditch

About fifteen years ago now, I was in a works tea room and there was a copy of the Sun left on the table. A little, inch or so column on the open page caught my eye, for some reason. I wandered over and read it:

" Farmer, Terry Suggdon, has become so enraged with thieves, regularly entering his land and helping themselves to his crop of young christmas trees, that he has reverted to drastic measures in an effort to curb them.

He has sprayed the entire crop and left them dripping with slurry. "

Er, yeah. 'So what?' hardly news, is it? Even for the Sun. But, I can see why the Editor allowed it. Some young hack, who'd do well here, had come up with the headline that still cracks me up to this day .....

" On The Trail Of The Loathsome Pine "

What's yours ....?

This one was taken from a 40th Birthday Party in Clondalkin, West Dublin about 4 years ago. Apparently the party goers snuck a kangaroo into the function room and got him goofed up on pep pills.

That one really was something else. And the thing is, it was true - that really was factually what happened. There was simply no less mental way to outline the circumstances of the case than precisely that headline.

I fondly remember my local county paper burning up the newsagent shelves once with the amazing front page headline "Cow Dies".
