Happy Friday! We live in the Information Age where all sorts of information and news is available from a plethora of sources twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. With all that information so freely flowing, there are bound to be a few wires that get crossed, unintentionally or intentionally, from time to time. This Friday, for you enjoyment and pondering, I present some of the more interesting headlines that have made their way past all the editors.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. ~Kurt Vonnegut
Once, a local newspaper from Middletown, Ohio had a picture of State Route 4 from the vantage point as if you were driving down the road in your vehicle. You could see a line of dozens of knocked down mailboxes littered along the road on this snowy winter day. I will never forget the inaccurate but humorous headline on that day that was aimed at myself and the other city employees of nearby Monroe, Ohio. It read, “Monroe plow drivers plow more than just streets.”
Hilarious.
