Off with their heads

The immortal yearbook photo… brings back ugly memories for many of us. That awkward age captured in perpetuity. The hair-do you’ll never live down.

But here’s one you wouldn’t expect: head switching.

A Texas high school requested that the heads on all student photos be made the same size with the eyes at the same level.

Can’t you just hear the prepress staff’s muffled screams of agony? People come in different shapes and sizes, so why shouldn’t their heads?

I guess the prepress staff found a way to escape the boredom and have some laughs.

But it was, "an unfortunate lapse in judgment by an employee” that landed them all in the unemployment line.

How’s that saying go? He who laughs first…...
