bigsmile An editor asked a reporter to get this story down as SMALL as
he can: "A lunatic homo sapien male, who escaped from the asylum, where
he was being treated, went hiding in some vegetation at the rear of a
house where a woman was outside washing. He quickly ejected himself from
the bushes, lunged at the homosapien female, subdued her and had forced
sex with her. As soon as he was finished, with supersonic velocity, he
plunged into the vegetation from which he emerged and dissapeared."

What is the SMALLEST can you BREAK THIS DOWN to, for the magazine or
newspaper?

lol at duffy! that 'bout sums it up!

Hmm, being that I'm an editor and have oftentimes had to say a lot in a
little tiny space..this is a challege.

Let's see:

"Bada bing, bada boom, bada bang?"

No?

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?"

I dunno.

Well, sort of. If there is not actually a punchline in here somewhere,
what it would boil down to is doing a summation of it as a headline.
That's about as succinct as you're going to get.
