A close second...

I've mentioned a few times in the past that my favorite headline in the history of the printed word was in the LA Times several years back. After a day of "rain" (and I use the term "rain" very loosely), the headline read, "Light Rain Wreaks Havoc on Southland Roads". And the sad thing was, it was true. There was no more than a drizzle, and yet roads were clogged, and people were killed. Ah, Los Angeles.

Well, here we have yet another for the "Only in LA" file. Scattered Showers Might Slow Evening Drive. Everyone, run for the hills! The ground will be slightly damp!!!!!!

Sigh, I wish that warning were a joke...but seriously peeople, a few drops of rain will mean death (well, extra death) on the freeways tonight.
