you have to look beyond the obvious,like in #7 the head seeks arms,or in #28 the bridge is held up by tape not concrete.in #37 the dropouts are cut in half(physically)not mathamatically.in #8 hoes are appealing to the pope,in #39 the hospital is being sued by 7 foot TALL doctors.or doctors with 7 feet

These are headlines to newspapers or something that records the news, anyways, the headlines are worded badly…
Most headlines are meant to use words that normally aren’t used together, to make the article seem better.
As for #3. Running Down Jaywalkers..
Jaywalkers run across roads illegally, so the newspaper writers wanted to fit in some words to go with the ‘flow’.

These are headlines that are worded poorly and therefore are humorous. For example “Hospitals are Sued by 7 Foot Doctors” – it makes it sound like hospitals are being sued by doctors with seven feet, when in fact sever podiatrists are suing hospitals.
