STRIKE!

Man, the cricket grounds crew in Calcutta is serious about getting a raise. While flipping through the Times of India (what else), I came across this notice of strike. As the copy is a bit hard to read, here is the first part of the text transposed:

Bowling to the pressure from the Eden's Garden 20 member groundstaff who threatened to commit suicide if their demands were not met.......


ps: in case you missed the humor in that last post, in Cricket - what we call pitching in baseball, is called bowling.

One day next week, I will post all the puns I can find in one issue of the newspaper. The journalists love a good pun. Of course, they also love a typo here. I've found more layout errors in the newspaper here than I ever found in my university paper.
