Buffalo Grove Man Takes S-Words for $200

Attention sword enthusiasts: Don't exercise with your samurai gear at playgrounds. You may "alarm" school officials.

An elderly Chinese man was doing his sword workout yesterday morning on the playground of a Buffalo Grove elementary school, before school was in session, but someone at the school called the cops. They escorted the 70-year-old home, where his son translated for the police, who said he should keep his sword collection in his house from now on. [Trib]
