How many ways can you parse this one: "Drive to feed needy snowballs".

Ow! My brain! 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.
