The Incredible Shrinking Newspaper
This is hot off the presses.

The LA Times, even when folded, is now TALLER THAN IT IS WIDE! The width is now a fraction of what it used to be. The paper sure looks funny that way.

1. I have many bird cages
and they used to fit them perfectly. Now not so much. Even with reading glasses it is hard to read with the smaller print.

4. Nice alliteration
"Fifty Five ... For ... Flyer"
That's 4 F's in a row.
Inserting an F bomb would make 5 in a row. :evilgrin:
