This story cries out for inappropriate headlines.
Arthur Ruiz Jr. cut his 60-year-old mother’s head off with a circular saw early yesterday and then died while trying to saw through his neck, according to police in La Habra, Calif.
In newsrooms across America, staffers are coming up with headlines that will never see the light of day.*
Like:
- Son Gets Ahead of Mom
- Son and Mom Neck and Neck
- Maw Saw Son’s Saw
- Art “Buzzsaw” Ruiz is Shorter.
got any other ideas?
*Fox News and Nancy Grace excepted
How about -
Veni, vidi, vici
I like working with smart people.
Hmmm, how about “Finally Cutting the Apron Strings.” Oh, that’s bad.
Good bad, or bad bad? hehehe
