I saw an advertisement for a purported news paper. "You deserve the best!", it declared.
My reaction was, "So, read The Hindu"?

Heard in Passing
A Kannada newspaper has published today a photograph of Mallikarjun Kharge drinking water. The caption said that he was campaigning constantly, it was hot, he was thirsty and he was drinking water.
An old man, reading the paper commented in the local patois, "What kind of reporting is this? Do you call this news? One of these days they will publish a photograph and say that this man was campaigning continuously. He did not have the time to have a bath. On the fourth day it started itching all over. He is scratching himself."
No. I have not bowdlerised the comment. He did not mention unmentionable body parts.
Are the news paper men listening?
