Co-worker brought it in way back in the early 1980s. The captions for photo setting errors were the funniest. Upside down picture of a state capitol building had "Would cost $X millions to make capitol dome look like this", or a black photo with "Russian vessel departs under cover of darkness".

I used to be a Linotype operator on country weeklies. One of 'em accidentally swapped cut lines on two photos - one an obit about a local into-every-good-project dowager, the other of an old abandoned barn that burned down. The one under her photo read "The old eyesore is gone at last". They got a lot of comments on that one - outraged and hilarious.

Did the paper blame Burgess Meredith?
