The first one - they must have found a lump of ambergris. That used to be vital in most perfumes, and was one reason sperm whales were hunted. But they mostly use man-made chemical versions these days.

Well, the headline itself isn't that funny(and what happened to this woman definitely isn't) the brief text in this news story is just ...amazing. But, having lived 10 LONG years in Jacksonville, I can tell you this is the way a fair number of locals talk there.

How many grammatical errors can you spot???

And how was she critically injured if the tires never touched her???

Sunbather Hit By SUV

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. -- A woman is in the hospital Friday afternoon after she was ran over on the beach by an SUV.

Action News is told 41-year-old Anne Marie Giffin was laying in the sand, when a Jacksonville Beach officer driving a Chevy Trailblazer SUV went to make a turn and ran over her.

Jacksonville Beach Sgt. Tom Bingham says the officer did not see Giffin laying on the beach and the tires never touched her.

Action News is told that Giffin is in Shands Hospital in critical condition.
