Ye Olde Funny Headlines

The Instagram account History Cool Kids has been featuring some funny olde timey headlines recently and I thought these three were worth sharing with you.

SEA SERPENT CHASES VESSEL IN KINDLY STYLE. This Monster Is Real Amiable Sort of Freak, Just Keeping Pace. HAS VERY WIDE SMILE.

FANCY 'PANTS' SHOCK PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL. Student Sent Home Because His Raiment Was Deemed Too Gorgeous. REVOLT IS EXPECTED.

NOISY, HUNGRY FROGS SADDEN FARMER'S LIFE. They Scare His Cattle and They Also Eat His Flannel Shirt.
