From Pine View Farm

Ha-Ha-Ha-HA-Ha 2

This is to be the best lead (yes, it’s “lead,” not “lede,” for Pete’s sake–it “leads” you to read the rest) I have seen in a long time:

Experimentation is essential for artists, Josephine L. Winsor once said, so maybe that explains why the 74-year-old painter from Wayne was drunk in a national park after dark with a dead woodpecker in her car.

    No, it’s lede, an alternative spelling used to distinguish it from lead, the stuff once used in typesetting machines.
    My own personal favorite lede was from a Wilmington Evening Journal article in the early 1970s:
    Driver Frank Cramden, rounding the clubhouse turn at Harrington Raceway last night, fell on his birthday.

    And exactly how old is this abomination?
