Missed opportunity for an "on the lamb" pun
- Jgrubb 5y agoResident of the area reporting that the pun was deployed successfully in local media.

- dbsmith83 5y agoBeing "On the lam" means being on the run from the law

- CatAtHeart 5y agoIt's a pun on the phrase `on the lam` which means running away (from the law)
- francoisdevlin 5y agoThe article makes the joke in a caption
- dbsmith83 5y agoThank goodness. How could a journalist not make that joke with this story?
- lostlogin 5y ago“Kids these days” came to mind too.
