Chlípník and toaletářka: sad story with funny words

Chlípník se pokusil znásilnit toaletářku - iDNES.cz

Devětačtyřicetiletý muž ze Strakonicka se v pondělí pokusil znásilnit toaletářku na veřejných záchodcích v Písku. Přes její odpor jí osahával a líbal. Snažil se jí svléknout tepláky a přitom měl rozepnutý poklopec. Neustále opakoval, že ji znásilní. To se mu ale nepodařilo.

Now, this is a serious and sad story with a very funny headline containing some interesting words. This is what happened: "A 49-year old male attempted a rape of a woman toilet attendant in Písek (a small Czech town South-West of Prague). Her age wasn't given to maintain her privacy in the small town. The woman came out of the incident unscathed." 

Now for the funny part. The headline pretty much reads "Lecher attempts to rape toilet lady". Here are the key words:

chlípník = lecher (a very evocative word)
toaletářka  = female toilet attendant  (toilet lady) more commonly refered to as hajzlbába
- both these words have a certain old-world charm and undefinable onomatopoeicity which leads me to believe that the humorous aspects of the headline were deliberate.
