A 53-year-old Shenzhen woman is less than thrilled with Hong Kong's customs officials after she was pulled aside for extra screening while entering from the Mainland. Suspected of being pregnant and vying for her baby to be born in Hong Kong, the woman was forced to take a pregnancy test - it came back negative. Fat? Maybe. Pissed off? Definitely.
There's an old joke that you're not supposed to ask a woman if she's pregnant unless you're damn sure that she'll say yes. A man is standing at a bus stop next to a sizable woman. "When are you expecting?" he asks. "Expecting what?" she shoots back. "uuhh... The bus to come," he improvises. Well played.
Now, imagine if, instead of trying to deflect an awkward situation, the man had - on penalty of refusal of entry to a country(ish) - forced the woman to go pee on a stick to prove that he was right and she was wrong.
The woman - who, it bears repeating, was 53-years-old - complained to the Hong Kong Immigration bureau, who have labeled the incident a "miscommunication."
