OK, so I receive police reports via email. Here is today’s gem. My comments will be interspersed in all CAPS.

A Traffic Message has been issued by the Hawaii Police Department.

Friday July 9, 2010 7:44 AM HST

AVOID Saddle Road near 51.5 milemarker for the next 4 hours due to traffic incident. Road may be closed periodically.

SADDLE ROAD CUTS THE ISLAND IN HALF AND IS BEING RESURFACED, ETC. MUST BE CONSTRUCTION ISSUES.

The Hawaii Police Department advises you to AVOID Saddle Road in the vicinity of the 51.5 milemarker due to a current traffic issue.

OH, A TRAFFIC ISSUE. PROBABLY AN ACCIDENT. IT’S PRETTY RURAL UP THERE. HOPE NOBODY GOT HURT.

A unexploded ordnance near the 51.5 milemarker will temporarily stop traffic on Saddle Road near the 51.5 milemarker between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

UNEXPLODED ORDINANCE! OH, ANOTHER ACTIVE SHELL OR GRANADE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEY JUST WANT TO GIVE THE MILITARY A CHANCE TO FIND IT.

AND SO IT GOES….
