Sounds like a lace against time to me. I certainly wouldn't want to loafer round that shop.

Very nice headline!

Store assistants Helen Honey and Faye Chown have been left terrified after a series of spooky goings on involving the brown deck shoes.

Oh noes! Not goings on!

And they say, at the stroke of midnight, you can hear a horrific thump, thump, thumping, as the cursed ghost of Marla Maple's publicist pleasures himself with a clog.

"A VICAR has been called in to get rid of a ghost who has become obsessed by a pair of shoes in a shop."

Right. Better get god, jebus and bigfoot over there right away, the shoes might fit one of them. Or, just tell the preist they're 12 year old shoes and he can rape them.

submitter,

All my base are belong to you. Kudos!

Previous businesses in the shop have reported problems including another butcher whose meat kept moving from one fridge to another.

Ladies, this is a guy thing. It wants to move around on it's own sometimes. Somtimes a lefty, sometimes a righty.

That headline is a groaner..but still funny.

What Is Funny?

Humor can be broken down into five distinct categories. You should memorize these, as there will be a quiz later.

...

* Category #5: Puns

Actually, puns aren't funny.

I saw this linked from there, and it's confused me:

"The attack came as PM Tony Blair prepared to launch a crackdown on yobbery one of the biggest General Election issues. Last week Mr Blair backed a ban on hoodies."

What the hell does that mean? Yobbery? Hoodies?
 
2005-05-17 01:47:08 PM

Oooh, spooky ghost. And nobody can seem to get it on video camera. Geee.

Haunted shoes... yeesh. That's as bad as the haunted toilet.

Someone give these punsters the boot.

I couldn't agree more.

Actually I don't mind the headline puns. I just ignore them as my personal view on puns is that they are not funny. It just seems that everyone gushes over how great of a headline they are in the thread.
 
2005-05-17 01:55:23 PM
(wrong article, too many open windows skilz deficient poster)

I'm gonna go mow the lawn now, me and my e-ville shoes.
 
2005-05-17 01:57:09 PM
Sweet mother of McCree, submitter...that headline is positively hideous.

Bravo :-D
 
2005-05-17 02:03:47 PM
Why didn't they just sell the damned shoes? Hell, the should have got a soldering iron, and burnt the likeness of J.C. (Network censors are preventing me from saying his name, so let's just say he looks a lot like the 'Nuge.) into the shoe, and then sell them to Golden Palace for a bazillion bucks? Oh wait...not America? Damn, there goes that plan.
 
2005-05-17 02:04:27 PM
everyone wincing at the pun from the submitter should actually RTFA - he just took it from the headline of the article itself.
 
2005-05-17 02:24:15 PM
Fantastic headline!

What exactly can science do? I believe there's a term for it... hrmm... oh yea it's called "nothing."

Speaking of shoes, I used to have a foot fetish...

But, I had to quit.
I caught Athletes Tongue.

Who mentioned science?

Oh I'm sorry, it was a natural assumption in oppostion to a religious solution you made fun of considering you didn't offer a solution of your own.
