Cool Best Headline Ever??

Thought we would have a little Xmas challenge ....

Think of the best Newspaper headline you have ever seen ....

I have 2, both from The SUN (I do NOT read it, honest!)

A few years ago George Micheal got caught with his pants down in a Public Loo ... the headline was:-

"Zip Me Up Before You Go-Go" which I thought was superb!

The SUN, this week, did it again - Elton John and David Furnish tie the knot ... the headline was:-

"Elton John Takes David Up The Aisle" I was wetting myself laughing, BRILLIANT!

What do YOU remember?

In February 2000 Caledonian Thistle beat Celtic 3 - 1. The Sun went with:

"Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious".

Made me smile.

His last words were, apparently, "What? red with THIS outfit?"

Apocryphal; from the Aberdeen Press & Journal reporting on the sinking of the Titanic :

"Aberdeen Man Lost At Sea".

It referred I think to the captain of the vessel.

When David Mellor was sacked as minister after his affair with some tart who said she had sucked his toes the headline in the Sun was :
"From Toe-job to No job"

The "Freddy Star ate my hamster" is still a classic.
