From an article about some

From an article about some interesting journalistic bloopers:


After a major snowstorm, this caption appeared beneath a photo of busy shovelers:
"Though a s---load of snow fell Saturday, snowplow crews had most major streets cleared by Sunday."
To which a regular reader replied:
"Being a Crystal Lake Herald reader for over 12 years, it is one of the first times that I saw your paper print the truth in such succinct and concise language, easily understood by the average reader."

(there are some more funny stories here, and at the site listed in the story, slipup.com - I love this stuff)
