Title: Coincidental headlines
Post by: TheYak on Mon 22/12/2003 09:40:39
Every once in a while you come across a newspaper or webpage that has headlines that seem to compliment each other a bit.  Here's one from today's MSN front page:

I saw a sign once, on a road trip, for a place that was a combination gas station and family restaraunt.  It read:
[color=000055]"Stop, eat, and get gas!"[/color]
It was funny as shit.

One of my old National Lampoon's had something like this in it. The one I remember off my head is a dry-cleaners' sign that said...

"We take the shi t off your back!"

There's a chiropractor's office in the next town over, and the head chiropractor's last name is Pensis.  I've been thinking of taking a can of beige spray paint and taking out the first s.

I guess there was also a place in Wittenberg, WI called "the sport and spine clinic".  The sign outside has those moveable letters, and someone rearranged the letters in "spine" so the sign read "sport and penis clinic."

There is a sign with removable letters for a massage therapist, and some one added a space in the second word to make it all together "Lori and Don Massage The Rapists. pretty funny as you drive by because its been that way for several years and they havent noticed the slight space thats been added.

Actually, that is pretty funny... I've had that idea for a while now, but I've never had the opportunity to pull it off.
