I've got at least 4 and more seem to be crowding forward. That's a keeper, that is. It's from a collection of poorly worded newspaper headlines collected by Jay Leno (well, his staff). You found 4? That's good. I could only come up with 3: 1. There's a drive to give food to people in need, and it's really taking off. 2. There's a drive to give food to snowballs in need. 3. The needy snowballs are a ways away, and you are being instructed to drive there, to give them the food. I'd be interested in hearing any other interpretations.
