Every so often I read a headline, and my first impulse is to laugh. And I do, and then I feel incredibly guilty and like slime because it really isn’t funny, it’s terrible and tragic, but it still seemed like horrifically sick irony. Such was my reaction to the following headline off AOL:
“Miss Deaf Texas Killed by Train”
And it’s exactly what you’d think: The poor woman was walking along the tracks and didn’t hear the whistle blowing. How she didn’t feel the vibrations, I can’t even begin to comprehend. But she didn’t, and she got killed, and I feel badly for her even though I didn’t know her, but…sheesh. What a headline.
