Better than "Stix Hix Nix Pix."

The New York Post's 1983 banner "Headless Body in Topless Bar" is considered to be one of the greatest heds in American tabloid history.

*Not that I suppose many care, but she isn't actually a Lingerie model but is the founder & CEO of an International lingerie Company with a net worth of over $35 million. Which does beg the question why would someone so smart allegedly be dating that odd ball Shane Warne!

Founding a company and being a rich CEO doesn't always equal smart.

In 2000 came one of the biggest Scottish Cup shocks of all time. Celtic, perennial champions and Cup winners, were beaten at home 3-1 by Inverness Caledonian Thistle - aka Caley - a team two divisions below.

It caused ructions, with the Celtic manager being sacked a few days later.

More humorous heds can be found in the Columbia Journalism Review's regular feature "The Lower Case." The magazine's web address is cjr.org. From there, go to "Magazine" and then to "Table of Contents."

A recent hed in the Minneapolis Star Tribune read "Vikes fans face new bang for the butt."

Other examples are merely a search away. Try Googling "funniest newspaper headlines."

Meanwhile, one Vietnam War-era byline we often used belonged to a stringer. His name? Am Rong.
