100 Confessions: Headlines

(72) I'm a sucker for hilarious headlines screw-ups.

My favorite of all time comes from my editor at my first newspaper, the Town-Crier. He was working in New Jersey. The two best football teams were Catholic schools: Pope John Paul II High School and Christ Our Savior High School. So, of course, one sports headline ended up as:

"Pope John Paul Slaughters Christ Our Savior"
