Truly local, truly bizarre

Cleaning up the papers that built up in my backpack while we were visiting Hong Kong, I found the "City" section of the South China Morning Post from April 8, 2005. I had saved it because the array of headlines on the front page of this section (pagew C1) was so consummately local. Check it out:

"Driving school cartel 'stifling competition'"

"Leech stuck up hiker's nose gives doctors the runaround"

"Customs raid nets cannabis worth [HK]$4.6m"

"Abuse prompts tightening on bids for market stalls"
No links because the SCMP archives are all for-pay. Maybe this is only amusing to someone like me who grew up in a household surrounded by newspapers...
