    Roasted Nuts is the worst but only if you know the context of the fire burning the asylum.

    But another candidate from the Trentonian for the fun pile, just three months ago: "Prosecutor’s dick causes wreck, but victims barely paid"

    Saw one pop up on our site a while back with something about a girl who "beat off muggers with a baton." I couldn't change it fast enough.

    This one has come up on this site many times, but there is a small town across the river from Natchez, Miss., called Waterproof, La. At some point in the Jim Crow days, there appeared a headline reading:

    "Two Waterproof Negros Drown"

    21, not being a dunderhead to the obvious, hopefully, but I think that might have been the opposite of dumb and very much intended.

    Did my pointing this out make me a dunderhead?
