I must add the headline from my college town newspaper in Macomb, Illinois.
When love found two young people from the towns of Normal and Oblong, the
banns were posted thusly:

"Normal Girl Marries Oblong Boy"

PS: But Lloyd - you win!

(SNIP)My mother had an obituary from the Fertile Journal that headlined
"Fertile
Woman Dies in Climax". It was my understanding that the editor of the
paper waited years for the opportunity to run a lead line like that.
