        Geeze they could just use AI to write something. I did one attempt and it follows.

        In an unusual turn of events, local resident Alan Walletson has been dubbed the “Prepared Romantic” for his unique approach to serendipity. Sporting a wallet that’s more like a treasure trove, Alan proudly reveals his secret weapon: a discreet squit of lube tucked between credit cards and receipts. Friends say he’s just ensuring that if luck strikes, he’s ready to slip and slide into romance with unmatched preparedness. Stay slick, Alan!

          Well that sure is a paragraph composed of sentences with words. It even has all the words from the headline in it! Too bad there’s no humor in it.

          I really don’t think much more than the headline needs saying. It’s short, sweet, to the point. They whipped up a nice little photoshop. Got a nice laugh outta me. Also see the related articles underneath. Got another chuckle outta me.
