I never cease to be amused by poor editorial skills in regards to titles -
The way it is constructed, it sounds as if the tree trimmer was attacked by africanized bees that were released from the hospital Sunday... too funny (that’s what happens when you have a mother who is a college English professor!)

The killer bees were in the hospital for bee anger management. Upon release, they attacked a treetrimmer.

My favorite badly-written title, which actually inspired a book title, was from a piece about Panda bears. The title was supposed to be:

Panda Bear Eats Shoots and Leaves

...but the author added a couple of innocent commas:

Panda Bear Eats, Shoots, and Leaves
