Ask Mr. Language Person
Q. What is the best true headline ever to appear in an actual newspaper?
A. In our opinion, that would be a headline from the Petersburg (Virginia) Progressive-Index, over a story about a mishap during the 2001 Bike Week gathering of motorcyclists in Florida. The headline, which was sent to us by alert reader Mary Ellen Lloyd, says: 'Skydiver Lands on Beer Vendor at Women's Cole-Slaw Wrestling Event.'
