39-year-old man fails in attempt to pass as high school girl

A 39-year-old man was arrested in Tokyo when he tried to enter a high school wearing a long wig and a girl's school uniform.

When students standing outside the gates started to scream at the sight of him, he dashed inside the school grounds, hoping to blend in with the crowds of teenagers, the paper said.

They also screamed, forcing the man to flee, losing his wig in the process. A school clerk pursued him and stopped him at a nearby riverbank, the paper said.

You think maybe he's been watching too much Summer Heights High? :-)

On the bright side, he wasn't over 40. Because that? Would have been wrong.

Here's an alternate or, at least, modified headline:

"39-year-old man fails to pass as high school girl, Duh!"
