Edit


When I went to college I wanted to major in journalism. I had some doubts about my abilities to succeed in the field. So I became a teacher instead and spent 25 years doing a job I never liked. I found the headlines below that were actually printed in newspapers. Now I know that I could have been a very successful journalist. Smart ass comments are in blue.

3.Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers

8. If Strike Isn't Settled Quickly, It May Last Awhile

10. Enfield ( London ) Couple Slain; Police Suspect Homicide

11. Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges
