Well, that isn't the real headline of the story, but I saw a story in
yesterday's paper which was amusing. The actual headline was "School
will begin despite small fire." The 2nd paragraph is what inspired the
headline above:

"About 8:30 a.m., a school janitor discovered a fire in a small room
where an air conditioner motor had overheated and ignited a cardboard
box, said chief Percell Holland Jr. of the Micro Fire Department. Fire
crews from Micro, Kenly and Smithfield came to the school, located on
U.S. 301, north of Micro."

Clipped from the August 13, 2001 News and Observer.
