Slight misunderstanding

I saw a cut-off headline on the NY Daily News page. It said:
"Wounded woman reveals most terrifying moments face-to-face with Santa..."
I thought, "Now what the hell has Santa Claus done!?" But it was a reference to the mass murderer in Santa Monica. I don't think I'm in prime form today.

Passingly

The headline said, "Biden Swears in Schatz". I thought, "Hmmm. Must be a Yiddish dialect."

"Killer bull"?

MADRID (AP) — A killer bull has claimed another victim after fatally goring a 29-year-old man during festivities in Spain's eastern Valencia region, an official said Sunday. 
The headline for this AP/NYT story is "Killer Bull in Spain Fatally Gores Man". I've read the story. A more accurate, more appropriate headline would be "Drunken, risk-averse fool invites bull to gore him; succeeds".
