Amusing headline

Got a press release today from A. Larry Ross Communications, a Texas publicity and marketing firm. They handle a lot of big clients including Billy Graham.
The headline on the press release read:
Guiness Draft Creates Washington Buzz

Here's the rest of the story: It's about Os Guinness, famous Christian author, drafting "The Evangelical Manifesto" that will be released tomorrow at the National Press Club in D.C.
So now the headline's double meaning makes sense. Pretty witty!

Here's another interesting little play on words: "I see said the blind man, as he picked up a hammer and saw."
Think about that one.
My old boss, Sam Boy, used to say it when I was a teenager working at a carryout in college. But he said it with a heavy-duty southern drawl.

I'm off to see Kathy Reichs, author of the best-selling "Bones" detective novels who also is a forensic pathologist who testified at the Gerald Robinson trial, who will be speaking tonight in Toledo at the Authors! Authors! program.
