    Needed: Quick Wit

    Hiya,

    I've come to the gathering of minds with a request. I need to come up with a quote for an unorganized school news-paper that hardly ever actually makes a paper. This quote is going to be in the [high-school] yearbook describing the newspaper, so it should be something not too harsh, but funny none-the-less. I've been trying to find endings for "All the news that's..." (Fit to print), but to no avail. Be creative - Think of this as an opportunity to show off your humor to the other members of VBForums

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Thanks a LOT,
    George

    All the news that's fit to be sexually molested by a drunken Phys Ed teacher.

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    As you can tell, wit is quite lacking on the forums these days.

    All the news that's fit to print - is boring but that's all they'll let us print.

    - or -

    All the boring crap that's fit to print.

    - or -

    All The News that's Fit to Print - and some that you wouldn't find in a real newspaper.

    All the news that is covertly disseminated by the Government agencies to obfuscate the underlying truths out there that the black suits would have us all ignorant of.

    - to take the conspiracy theorist angle. Keep it to yourselves though, the walls have ears.

    All the news, none of the interest

    All the news, none of the cen******

    All the news that's been passed as acceptable for printing in that it in no way questions, undermimes, or has been judged to be offensive or potentially subversive in nature or unduly critical of State affairs under Section III, Paragraph 7, Sub-paragraph 12(a) of the Information Security and Supervision Act, after passing rigorous inspection in order to perpetuate the glorious and invincible regime of His Holiness the Prime Minister by the Committee for State Security, Information Division.

    the longest right hand word i can think of is 'lollipop' but i havent given it much though. Also, on the subject of newspapers, you can also type 'reporter' with just the top row
    Please don't discourage me, I never hurt anyone.

    I used to find their other publication
    News of the World even funnier. It didn't contain anything about the world. Just about some celebs caught doing something. I guess that is the kind of stuff people in the UK love. Its the highest selling newspaper or something.

    The term 'News' is very rarely associated with the Sun or The News Of The World. Lies and gangbangs now they are

    Bernard Woolley: Sun readers don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big...... oh, sorry.
