The most turgid headline I've seen

And it belongs to a BBC article:

Many things blow away flatulence. But take care. Sprouts have been known to make silent, deadly flatus too.

GM - like in General Motors? Anyway, this other GM, like in Monsanto, is doing quite well.

If it "blows away" anything, then it causes flatulence. But flatulence is what gets "blown away." So the person eats the sprout and emits gasses that cure flatulence in other people? How altruistic!

Aha. The code word triggered a comment. Good. As for the poor guy who is really persecuted by his employer - my heart goes out to him.

This is what the word "oppression" really means.

A person who eats sprouts looks to me altruistic anyway. Or is it masochistic? I tend to mix these two words...

Non-flatulent sprouts; another Great Leap Forward for Humanity!

It could be a launch, like in a rocket launch...

Yes, as in General Motors. They sell pickups, but not much else. Despite the federal bailout to save their unions and, probably not incidentally, the military vehicle lines.

Well, isn't Cadillac a GM creation? Still a pretty good carriage, albeit a bit too expensive for me...

It is, but the richies seem to be buying Mercedes these days. I see many of them on the road but very few Caddies.

Too bad. A few opportunities I had with that car impressed me a lot.
