Newpaper Headlines

[Kevin Slater]

I have a tendency to misread newspaper headlines. It gets annoying.

 

"Doctor Who operated on Joan Rivers Snapped Selfie" In which episode did Doctor Who operate on Joan Rivers?

 

"Cruise Back in Texas; Ebola Ruled Out" What does Ted Cruise (R-TX) have to do with Ebola? (OK, fine, so how am I supposed to know he spells it Cruz?)

 

The list goes on...
