35. First time a NON-Borowitz title fooled me thinking it *was* Borowitz!1
Mon Jun 8, 2020, 01:25 PM
Jun 2020

Over the past couple of years when DUers post a BOROWITZ title in the subject line without attribution there, some preposterous premise about SHITLER, something too good to be true, I've gotten to be able to spot BOROWITZ before opening the O.P.

Lately, I've fallen for the trap, not spotting BOROWITZ a couple of times.

This O.P. title is the first time I thought it was BOROWITZ when it wasn't.
