Have you ever been trapped in an unwelcome, one-sided conversation? Ever needed to be rescued? Then you need Lunarbaboon's Son Signal.
This happened a lot at one library that I worked at. We worked out a system for freeing librarians from endless conversations like these.

But the anecdote was meant to accentuate the comic. Maybe it veered off-topic. I don't think I've ever been in the precisely same parenting situation that the comic describes. Let me see if I can reword the post.
I point this out because I don't want people thinking that this headline was a mistake; it's fairly typical fare from the headline editors at the Toronto Sun. I don't read the Sun, but if I come across a copy in a coffee shop, I sometimes scan their headlines because they're like this!
I've often thought that they like to slip in these little word plays just so they can have fun wondering whether or not it's going to go right over their reader's heads. Another thing they like to do; have a big colour front page picture and a giant attention-grabbing front page headline that have nothing to do with each other, but are funny in juxtaposition.
It's always fun to check out the Sun boxes as I walk by and see what kind of twisted meaning they have created by mashing up unrelated words and images.

Without thinking, I wondered how the body fit in the case.
