MYSTERY MYSTERY

Tucked away in the public notices of the NT News , under one for LILI’S MASSAGE , she said to be new , nice and from Hong Kong , is this little gem : MYSTERY NUMBER- We wish to advise that the NT News mystery number competition has been suspended indefinitely due to a mechanical press breakdown. Readers will be advised when and IF the competition is resumed. Thank you for entering the mystery number competition... This is surely a situation which is tailor made for skit. There is a report that the Royal Darwin Hospital is run off its feet handling an influx of jibbering people exhibiting mystery number withdrawal symptoms. One presumes a southern Mr Fixit , a Bingo expert perhaps , is being flown in to solve this baffling mystery which defies the skills available in Darwin , unless Lili can be induced to massage the cogs in the press and get them rotating properly.
