Okay, now you say, “Control Freak who?”

An old man passes by a newsstand on his way to the subway every morning.
The man in the booth notices him glance at the headline for a moment, before he grunts, shakes his head, and shuffles off.
He does this every morning, for months.
One slow morning, the vendor musters up the nerve to confront his would-be patron.
“Hey old man!”, he says, “have you ever thought about actually buying the paper?”
“I only read the obituaries,” the old man replies.
“The obits? Those are never on the front page.”
The old man answers, “This one will be.”
