Staff Lunch Talk: When A Headline Is A Handful

It's funny, unless you consider that someone might have been sexually assaultedChoire: whoa

Balk: Come ON.
Choire: RIGHT?
Balk: I cannot believe an editor did not yank that headline. It is kind of shocking that they were able to pull it off. I mean, you've got to give them a hand for a job well done.
Choire HI O
Balk: They could not have squeezed out any more from this story!
Choire: oof
Balk: They go all the way. I mean, they could have just tossed it off, but when you look at how it all shakes out, I can't see any other outlet bothering to take a whack at it.
Choire: …
Balk: Okay, I think I'm done now.
Choire: no you're not
Balk: I can't think of anything for "off the wrist," so yeah, I think I'm spent.

The editor probably wanted to choke the chick and … oh, no, the writer's a guy.

The second base allegation seemed harder to pull off.

Al was willing, but she had a lockbox.

Talk about an anti-climax!

…but with such zippy wits, the they've got us all by the peepers, so there's the rub!

How much exactly was spent on this?

Art Yucko (#1,321)

…we're going to have to ween editorial off their money-spout, or else get out the wet-mop!

Looks like, under pressure, the reporter really choked and chickened out on the story.

La Cieca (#1,110)

Next time, remind Choire to interrupt us. (And I'm out of here!)

That massage lady deserves to be spanked for monkeying around with them like that.

How does someone leave their pants behind after a massage?

It seems like it was an outpatient procedure and she steals souvenirs. Of course, when I go for a massage or to the chiropractor, I bring an extra romper just in case.

HiredGoons (#603)
