This is an excerpt from my local paper (Albany, NY Times Union):


BRENTWOOD-
Brothers David and Michael Murphy ran into each other early Saturday morning. Unfortunately, police say, they were behind the wheels of separate cars and both were drunk.


I couldn't help but laugh at the way that was written.


The two vehicles collided at 4:10 a.m. at the intersection of Plunkett Street and Radcliff Drive, where Michael Murphy ran a stop sign in his 1998 Volkswagen and slammed into the side of his brother's car, Suffolk County police said.

Although both cars had passengers, no injuries were reported. Both Michael Murphy's car and his brother's 2006 Volkswagen were so badly damaged that tow trucks were needed to clear them from the intersection.

David Murphy, 22, and Michael Murphy, 21, were both arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated, police said. Both men are from Brentwood.

The hilarity is sidesplitting.

Never knew articles could be written like that. It is pretty amusing.

Reminds me of a joke:
A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.

"Why of course," comes the reply.

The first man then asks: "Where are ye from?"

"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.

The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."

"Capital idea!," replies the second man.

Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are ye from?"

"Kilkenney," comes the reply.

"Sweet Jesus! I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Kilkenney too! Let's drink to Kilkenney."

"Of course," replies the second man.

Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: "And what school did ye go to?"

"Saint Patricks," replies the second man. "I graduated in '62."

"Blessed Mary, mother of God but this is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I went to Saint Patricks and I graduated in '62, too!"

About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender.

"Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again."
