A construction error in the recently remodeled security entrance, which has a built-in scale designed to only let one person at a time pass through the door, has caused some embarrassing moments for officers who may not have spent enough time exercising.

Those weighing more than 230 pounds who try to pass through the entrance are greeted by a recorded voice telling them: "Stop! One at a time!" and are not let through, police spokeswoman Linda Widmark said

5. It's hard not to find *some* humor in the story.

I suppose there are *some people* who could avoid it, but the whole thing is very slapstick.

6. Yeah man

I weigh around 220 myself, probably less now since I had surgery but it is hard not to see some humor. Yes I know exactly what youre infering to. I get upset when my weight gets poked at sometimes but mostly thats because I flat out dont like my brother who always does it. I am not offended by "ssertca taf" and Yella Eitsirk. ha.
