Non-existence vouchers
Another high-quality headline from the local news media quasi-monopoly:
“Rumor spurs long line for non-existence housing vouchers”
First you think, gah, this is probably the same editor who thinks it’s okay to repeatedly refer to dead children as “tots” in headlines. But then you start to wonder how exactly one might qualify for a non-existence voucher, and what happens next. Is it like Futurama’s suicide booths, or do they use lasers, or what?
Update: now it’s “Rumor spurs long line for non-existing housing vouchers.” It’s like watching a train chug up a steep hill: non-existent non-existent non-existent CHOO CHOO!
