English In Use - Floor and Order

A selection of headlines from stories in the news. They use English in a way that you might think is intended to confuse but it's all perfectly clear to the native speaker.

This is the headline for the story of a guy who, whilst the worse for wear, keeps pretending to be injured and has been issued with a 2 year ASBO to stop him falling over in the street.  The headline "Floor and Order" is a play on the phrase "Law and Order". 

I wonder if he's ever heard of the story of the boy who cried wolf.
