Headline


There's the clown, y'see, called "Flup" and he's involved in a scandal concerning open-toed sandals. What did the newspaper headline read ?


FLUP IN FLIP-FLOP FLAP


Actually, when the evening edition came out they'd changed it, since alliteration was against the evening editor's principles and they found out that Flup had actually damaged the flip-flops. The headlines now read:


VANDAL IN SANDAL SCANDAL



Some mornings I just think of these things.


And just so we'll all learn something from this, you can read about alliteration, rhyme and other literary devices at this web site about them.
