    I had a lecturer at college who collected headlines like that. The ones I remember are:
    (WW2 Headline) British Push Bottles Up German Rear
    Young Married Couple Have Mounting Problems
    And my favourite about a famous explorer setting off on his latest expedition - Sir Vivian Fuchs Off Again.

    There is also, what I suspect is a local urban myth, that when the Titanic sank the headline in the press in Dundee was "Dundee Man Drowns at Sea."

    I believe the Fuchs headline is correct but it only ran in one edition of the Daily Express and the sub-editor was sacked

    A headline I HOPE to see:

    "'The Sun' to close".

    There was the classic Sun headline when small Scottish team Inverness Caledonian Thistle beat the mighty Celtic - Super Cally Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious
