WORLD headline, Victorville CA Daily Press Dec. 17:

Fear of new turmoil
dogs vote in Kyrgyzstan

Perhaps we’d have a better government if dogs voted also in the U.S.

Fear of new turmoil dogs vote in Kyrgyzstan.

I take it that dog is a verb, the carriage return was persiflage, and the lack of period (or full stop across the pond) was dahilian.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.

zm, yes and no. The headline is reproduced exactly as it appeared, but I fear we are spoiling its humorous value by analyzing it in such detail

Welcome to my private dahilian bardo. All food has lost its taste; all words have lost their meaning. Everything is permitted; nothing is allowed. A sausage for an algorithm; a peck of sniff for a hundredweight. La!
