Any funny funny thread titles you find on other forums, or make up your own, like this:

Punishing uncooperative golf clubs: Snap them over your knee or throw them into the water hazard? (Not that I play golf myself but I like to watch the PGA Tour from time to time and I enjoyed that wild British Open this week! :clap:)

They don't have to be actual threads, of course.
Remember: If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I'd rather be a child of the road than a son of a ditch.


At what age do you tell a highway that it's been adopted?

My favorite thread on another board was simply titled "Drunk posting."

Not a thread title, but one of my absolute favorite newspaper headlines of all time: "Chess with golf clubs and a frilly dress in the rain."

This was the headline to a column a friend and former sports editor at a newspaper where I worked wrote about watching a golf tournament on TV and trying to explain to his mother what was happening.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Newpaper headline.  The then governor of Wisconsin making many vetoes in the budget was the intended meaning of the headline, but the typesetter forgot to set an important space:

Guess when he has to use the bathroom, the act of him trying to results in an explosion. I don't think they'll be laughing when they've got all that brown smoke in their face.
Pleased to meet you

That newspaper headline is from 1991. Probably a cut-and-paste job where the headline was typeset on a phototypesetting machine, such as a CompuGraphic TrendSetter, and the composition person had to cut it out, run it through the waxer, and then paste it on the layout sheet.

The smell of hot wax was OK. The smell of old phototypesetting paper developing chemicals, not so much.
