Title: Another Billings Gazette Headline.
Post by: Roger Kettle on October 15, 2012, 06:53:08 PM

While reading my favourite Montana newspaper online, the following headline caught my eye.
TWO MOOSE DIE IN FIGHT OVER MATE.
Now, I realise this is quite a sad story---the headline says it all---but I couldn't help comparing it to the type of thing I read in my local paper, the Dundee Courier.
DUNDEE MAN HAS SHED BROKEN INTO.
I want to live in Montana.

Moose can be a torment to your garden shed.

How do you manage to break into a type of hair-parting?

I saw this news story today, as I expect a few of you here in Britain did:

Police use Taser on blind man after stick mistaken for sword (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-19979184)

Is it okay that I laughed a ridiculous amount at this, provided I felt a little guilty about it afterwards?

He should be thankful he didn't have his guide-wolf out with him. They might have shot it.
