Shoehorning in the puuns, eh subby?

desertfool: Too bad it has become so violent, San Pedro Sula is a beautiful area.

Unless San Pedro Sula is some fancy-pants French words to make a shoe pun you're in the wrong thread, Doc(Marten).

/Tread on pun based headlines is wearing thin

That will be the last time they dare to make shoes 2 sizes too small.

Have you ever notices that when journalists admit they've got no really credible info about motive or culprits, like this:
"Mejia said he did not know the motive for the shootings and that no one had been arrested..."

then they seem to feel obligated to pepper their reporting with meaningless/pointless observations like this:
"...the bodies, which were being placed into yellow plastic body bags..."


With 18 dead bodies, I really don't care about the color of the bodybags, CNN. Isn't that a proverb or saying?

Inverter2: Wouldn't it be 36 soles?

I was trying to figure out if it was 9 or 18 people without RTFA'ing.

It's like shooting fish in a shoe factory? I don't think the Mythbusters tried that one...

apeiron242: How often does the shooting claim soles, subby? Daily, weekly?

Looks to me that the shooting is over which would mean that it claimed 18 soles. Just the once, and in the past.



Newspaper-style headlines are usually written in present tense, regardless of when the action occurred. More at 11.
