PART 3

Hell Hath No Fury Like Hallucination Hounding Humorous Headlines.

It’s not my fault! Okay, maybe it is.

Welcome to Part 3 of Carefully Crafted Headlines Headed Toward Medium Mayhem. (Parts 1 and 2 are linked below)

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

I can’t imagine the horror other writers must feel to see how far these ideas have been twisted and misinterpreted.

My apologies go out to all of you.

But then I saw this headline:

This Technique Will Make Any Woman Squirt

If it doesn’t work for you, you’re doing it wrong.

And I have to ask, “Are you doing this shit on purpose?”

As always, I try to misread each headline as if I were half asleep, dyslexic, or high, change the fewest words possible and then let the story lead me where it will.

#11: Business and Productivity Gurus SHUCK Habits to Stay Fit

You can be busy and also be in great shape. YOU’VE GOT TO BE, IF YOU WANT TO POWER WALK AROUND YOUR BUILDING BUTT NAKED. MOST PEOPLE DON’T MIND IF YOU TAKE THE STAIRS, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY GOOD FOR THE CARDIO-VASCULAR SYSTEM, BUT NOBODY WANTS TO REACH THE LANDING AND LOOK UP TO SEE YOUR JIGGLING JUNK. YOU’D THINK AFTER ALL THOSE SEXUAL HARASSMENT SETTLEMENTS, YOU POMPOUS BASTARDS WOULD WEAR BIKE SHORTS OR A T-REX ONESIE, BUT NO, YOU’VE GOT FLAUNT YOUR BODIES IN A TOTALLY VAIN (AND VEINOUS) WAY. WHAT’S SO WRONG WITH THE HABIT OF WEARING A HABIT? IT’S A LONG, LOOSE GARMENT THAT STILL ALLOWS JOHNSON AND THE BALL BROTHERS TO GET PLENTY OF FRESH AIR. YOU’VE BEEN GOING ON THOSE RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE RETREATS WITH THOSE CUTE INTERNS, SUPPOSEDLY TO BLOW YOUR MINDS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY BLOWING GOING ON WAS OF A COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE NATURE. REMEMBER, WHEN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SAYS “GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY,” THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, NOT UNWANTED PREGNANCIES.

#12: I Still Believe That All The Love You’ve Given Will Come Back To You One Day
