Okay, this post is semi-serious semi-smart a#$ (kids in the room 
)
Here’s the serious part. Some of the most effective headlines have an element of curiosity and mystery. To do that, you trigger your readers’ "I’ve-got-to peak-in-your-medicine-cabinet-when-I-use-your-bathroom" type of nosiness. But whatever the fancy psychology, you simply want your reader to have to click because they have to find out what’s behind the door.
Plus some fun and outrageousness doesn’t hurt the cause and builds the "I like you factor."
Anyway, here’s the funny part. Inspiration can come from anywhere .
For example, check out these 10 best country break-up song titles from Q magazine:
1. I’ve been flushed from the bathroom of your heart
Johnny Cash
2. Here’s a quarter (call somebody who cares)
Travis Tritt
3. She’s acting single, I’m drinking doubles
Gary Stewart
4. My wife ran off with my best friend and I sure do miss him
Wayne Carter
5. You’re out doing what I’m here doing without
Gene Watson
6. Ive got tears in my ears (from lying on my back in bed while I cry over you)
Homer and Jethro
7. You’re the reason our kids are ugly
Loretta Lynn
8. Tequila makes her clothes fall off
Joe Nichols
9. She’s got the goldmine (I’ve got the shaft)
Jerry Reed
10. If drinking don’t kill me (her memory will)
George Jones
See what I mean? Hey, I told you this was semi -serious. Emphasis on the word semi . 
So, which was your favorite? Leave your mark in the comments below.
P.S. Believe it or not, I’m actually working on a blog post about Facebook from one of the titles above. I’ll tweet about it when it’s done so make sure you are following me (Yisel Guajardo on twitter ).
Until next time…ciao.
