I fired up my computer quite early this morning to find, once again, the most bizarre titles for stories. Who has the job of creating these pieces of “journalism?” Don’t you want that job?
Just take a look at what I found this morning:
“Get Rid of your Beer Belly in a Weekend.” Really, why can’t I drink on the weekend when everyone else does and get rid of it on a weekday?
“Wrinkle Free Solution Horrifies Surgeons.” Anything wrinkle free would scare me.
“Waffle Irons aren’t just for Waffles anymore.” Look. I’ve got George Forman now. My waffle iron can take a break and just be used for waffles.
“Grumpy Cat’s reasons to be happy.” How do they know the cat is grumpy anyway? Aren’t they eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom or rubbing up against you? Hmm, sounds like some people I know.
“Hulk’s daughter gets engaged.” I just can’t comment on this one.
“What can lead to dishonesty at work.” This article says a bigger desk can make you more dishonest. Now, how do you think they got the “facts” for this one? Clearly, no one talked to me because my desk is not big. But, my assistant, she’s got a whole cubicle and she seems pretty honest … hmm. 🙂
“Inexpensive summer wines.” Now you’re talking!
Here are some titles I would like to create:
“How to make sure you kids listen and follow all your advice.”
“How to follow your own advice.”
“How to get a chef to cook your meals at a lower cost than eating out.”
“How to get exercise without sweating.”
“How to get exercise while staying in bed and sleeping.”
I have a feeling no one is going to create articles attached to my ideas … but one never knows!
I’m off for a morning run with friends (rather than sleeping!). Have a great start to your week.
