Today, CNN.com had the headline, "Jack Hanna, flamingo trapped in airport turnstile." Jack Hanna, if you didn't know, is an animal expert and director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo, who is often seen on TV talk shows showing off animals and being generally goofy. The story proceeded with this opening paragraph:"COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Animal expert Jack Hanna and an 11-month-old flamingo became trapped while trying to squeeze through an airport security turnstile. It took firefighters to finally get the flamingo out."
We had to read five more paragraphs to finally learn that Jack Hanna was able to free himself without help before the fireman were called. Aw, shucks.
