Do you smile or groan?

Do you usually smile or groan when you read pun headlines such as:

Phone company rings up record profit

And:

Electric rate increase shocks customers

Whichever you do, here's one more from today's online edition of Boston University's student newspaper, The Daily Free Press.

Reporting on a major rowing event on the Charles River, the headline editor gave us:

Rowers make waves

I smiled at that one.

If you have a favorite pun headline, pass it on. If I get enough, I'll put a post up.
