Good laugh

I had such a good laugh this morning that I almost fell off my chair.

I was reading the Internet pages of the New Straits Times, Malaysia's one-time leading newspaper, when I came across a story with the headline: " Lawyer who saves women facing death by stoning in Nigeria ".

Cor...what an atrocious ambiguity but what a beauty. Who's facing death by stoning in Nigeria: the lawyer or the women? Groucho Marx would be very pleased to read this himself. No wonder the New Straits Times was a one-time leading newspaper in Malaysia.
