    I was always fond of one that Mr. Schoenfeld hung up on the wall of our newspaper office: “Thompson’s Pen is Mightier than Sword” which isn’t very funny except that the spacing was off and “is” was waaaaaay too close to “Pen”.

    Nice list.

    I remember one I came across in the Indian Express during an India Zimbabwe cricket series long ago:

    Zimbabwe collapses as Maninder plucks flowers

    ( Maninder was an Indian off break bowler. Andy Flower and Grant Flower formed the batting mainstay of Zimbabwe back then.)

    I once covered a story where firefighters found a woman in a burning home who was already dead. When they got her outside they discovered she had been shot. When I got back to the office the wire had published the following:
