“Franch Ready To Hit Libyan Extremists”: The True Story

Many people assumed there was a typo in this headline from Tuesday’s Commercial Appeal.

The headline was correct although the accompanying narrative about France preparing to bomb rebels along the Libyan border was complete rubbish and clearly printed in error.  What should have appeared was the story of a feud between two neighbors: Harbor Town resident Kenneth Franch, the inventor of Franch’s Tangy Orange Salad Dressing, and librarian Binford Scuttlebutt.  According to reports Franch became enraged because the Scuttlebutts, who are actually from Denver and of Flemish extraction, didn’t take their holiday decorations down after January 1st.
