Default Hilarious Headline
See when it's that obvious, you know the writer or editor was chuckling to himself. These guys definitely pay attention to their headlines. Notice all the lame puns that are used in headlines, especially in sports headlines or the headlines of casual metro papers like the NY Post, Philly Daily News, or the Metro.

This is another good one:

There's a famous journalism class example from a small-town paper, about a woman from the town of Fertile, Michigan, whose car was run over by a train in the neighboring town of Climax, MI...

"Fertile Woman Dies in Climax"

I've never been able to confirm if it's real or not.

While looking it up to see if indeed it was real or not... many of the references say it's two towns in Minnesota
