Somehow, It's Funny that Way

[digitS']

Is it just me or does anyone else find this combination of words in a headline funny? Almost the first thing I saw this morning:

"Alphabet shares fell after the Times reported that Sam sung might replace Google with Bing as the default search engine.*"

I envisioned something like a castle of building blocks collapsing in the middle of a circle of kids with one kid being a bit rowdy.

*Edited to reflect my tendency to overlook some words while surveying the news.
