Poor Jason!

I have just read a sub headline that has made me roar with laughter. 'Good neighbour Jason Donovan battles fire in his underpants'.
Any other exciting headlines that have made you laugh? I am feeling a bit silly today for some reason and wondered if anyone might care to join me.

Poor Jason - but lucky us, having an opportunity to view JD in his pants. He's not looking too shabby at all! <shallow>

This story didn't make me laugh as such, it just warmed the cockles of my heart (although the photo of the farmer's legs sticking up in the air was v funny!) www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-49905257

Ignore me - I've just noticed you're looking for headlines, sorry!

I have nothing sad

Oh thank you for a laugh! ???????(two laughs)
Having peaked into GN after being away,(moans about Meghan, moans about the MOS , beefs about Boris and somebody going crackers over plastic tat at Christmas) - this is a breath of fresh air!

Yes, it’s a funny headline ?you can’t tell me that it’s not done on purpose though.

Please don't accuse me of sick humour or insensitivity, but I had to laugh at this snippet from BBC radio news a while back: ".....but the device failed to explode - it is believed to have been the work of an inexperienced suicide bomber."

A while ago but...
‘Delegates failed to pass a motion’
I always wonder if Senokot would have helped.
I had to leave a conference room once when they started passing motions, despite trying my hardest I always end up in hysterics.

Asked whether Donovan would get a commendation for being a good neighbour, Wolfe (fire officer) quipped: “He looks good for his age.”

This made me laugh:
Police warn people not to mock wanted drug dealer's hair as they comb the area
You must see the story, and the hair!
