Context is King!!

An appropriate side-story I think AP and all of us can learn from regarding the importance of context:
Many years ago, Douglas Heard, then Margaret Thatcher's Foreign Minister, visited Washington DC. As soon as he stepped off the plane, a Post reporter asked him if he would be visiting any strip clubs while in DC. Disgusted, Heard sarcastically replied "Oh, are there any strip clubs in DC?". Next day, the headline of the Washington Post read:
DOUGLAS HEARD VISITS DC. HIS FIRST QUESTION OFF THE PLANE "ARE THERE ANY STRIP CLUBS?"
Be careful out there folks!
