Fixed That for You


A headline in my daily paper (Newsday):

City jails rabbi quits

I saw it at an angle, and couldn't figure out who the city was arresting.

Hyphen, anybody?

City-jails rabbi quits

Seen any really confusing headlines lately?

Um, the hyphen helps a little but who on earth is the 'city-jails rabbi'? Some sort of prison chaplain?

I've got to agree with JD -- it's just no good no matter how you slice this one.
