The Sydney Morning Herald is in the annoying habit of applying jokey headlines to its less serious stories. These are seldom funny and always bewildering. The news item I mention below about spirituality has the headline "Blind faith takes a back pew in wellbeing list". Ha ha ha, what? However, today's Sun Herald surpasses in confusion and hilarity anything its sister paper has concocted with the surprising headline Nurses to train as sex assault experts.

Horrible, isn't it?

They're just one step away from 'Nut Screws Washers and Bolts' and 'Macarthur Flies Back to Front'.

...the surprising headline "Nurses to train as sex assault experts"...
Reminds me of school - one of my biology teachers doubled as a psychology teacher as well. One morning, she asked the Librarian if there were any books on child abuse on the shelves. The Librarian looked a bit askance at this, and so Miss Harris elaborated:
"I'm thinking of taking it up as a hobby!"
As she was only 4'11", we decided that she'd have to go for the under-fours for any kind of advantage...
