I keep a collection of headlines and news snippets that don't seem to
be deliberately done.  Here are a few:

RIVER CHURN IS LEAKING, INQUIRY TOLD

"CFTO-TV runs short religious messages by clergyment of various faiths
and solicits comment by flashing a phone number.  So far, none of the
phoned-in comments can be repeated in public."

PROTEST GOES TOPLESS
Bournemouth, England: To protest the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan,
the city council of this seaside resort has cancelled a show by the
Soviet army ensemble dancers and replaced them with the topless
Bluebell Girls troupe from Paris.

"Malmo, Sweden's first European finalist, was badly hit by the departure
of Staffan Tapper 10 minutes from the intermission.  The World Cup
player started despite an injured toe and was never able to stamp his
usual authority on the midfield."
