And the winner is...

 

I'm obliged to Dr. Grumpy for this reminder of what some might consider the world's greatest newspaper headline.  Clickit to biggit.



I never have been able to find out the backstory behind the headline . . . can any reader oblige?

    There used to be a sunday 'newspaper' in the UK called the News of the World' In the 1970s or 80s, they ran the classic front page headline:
    "Nudist welfare man's model wife fell for the Chinese hypnotist from the Co-op bacon factory."

    Let's have a moment of silence for former New York Post editor Vincent A. Musetto, who penned such classics as "Headless Body in Topless Bar", "Fairy Godfather" (about a gay mafiosi), and "Ho No!" (about NY Gov. Elliot Spitzer's visit to a prostitute).

    Doesn't Snickers Bars have nuts in them. That would explain a few things in this head line.
