Well, this wasn't actually a crime scene... and there wasn't actually a crime... but it is funny nonetheless.
An alert driver called the police on the freeway this morning, reporting that an asphalt truck was leaking. It was a full-on spill by the time the highway patrol pulled it over. The charge on scene told a rookie to follow the trail back to the beginning on foot.
He didn't say it out loud, but I could practically hear him thinking, "Seriously? Follow a trail of asphalt on an asphalt road? It's like looking for a needle in a stack of needles." 
From what I hear, he hasn't reported back yet(to my knowledge, since I haven't clocked in to the lab). I hope he isn't halfway across the state.
