Again. I don't know who writes the headlines but it's almost as of the Patch writers are in a competition to write the most clever. By the time I made it to "The Name Fits" I was in tears. Keep 'em coming.

Two Things to Pump You Up:
I wonder if this kid knows that these items need to be injested.
Living on Oatmeal and Abuse:
Oatmeal is good for your system.
Ask the "critic".
A Love Like No Other:
OK. I can't help myself. Was he buying a Jag-u-are?, A Hummer? A Mini?
A Willys (jeep), A Yu-go? Or A Toy-ota from the victim?
Gun Safe, Sock Drawer — It’s All the Same:
Wait a minute......Gun Sock? Not to be confused with a GUM Shoe.
Maybe He’s a Critic:
He must've been at the Library studying for a Stool test.
The Name Fits:
Police said they found a crack pipe in her pocket. Sounds like It had previously been in her mouth.
