    Best Lede Ever?

    The first paragraph of a NY Post story last week:
    December 8, 2007 -- Slain Staten Island fire marshal Douglas Mercereau's full-figured wife - who some believe was driven to murder by humiliating fat jokes he made at her expense - was the elephant in the room at his funeral yesterday as detectives spent the day trying to build a case against her.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
