Think back to a time where you were just flipping through a magazine or a newspaper, trying to find some information or some entertainment along the way. All of a sudden, you come to a screeching halt. A cheeky headline somewhere on page 3 made you look twice--maybe even four times--and then you burst out with laughter. Well-placed bits of humor by newspaper sub-editors have been happening for years. These writers are constantly trying to slip headlines into their publications that are filled with puns, double entendre, and naughty wordplay that makes working for a local paper interesting again. There are tons of doozies and backhanded bellylaughers out there, but here are 20 of the funniest, somewhat naughty, headlines from the last decade.
20. Double Points
Baseball fans are used to unusual player names being in compromising situations, but the writer from the Press-Republican in Plattsburg, NY took full advantage. New York's Alex Rodriguez and Houston's Chien-Ming Wang ended up being the butt of this joke.
19. He Does WHAT...?!
The subeditor of the Courier News MUST have known what they were doing when they wrote this attention grabber. Either that, or they were big fans of Monica Lewinsky.
