Gee, they talk about this like it is some kind of game. No wonder Hawaii law enforcement and the courts are so screwed up.

I was shopping @ the Goodwill Outlet store and found a pen that Bank of Hawaii hands out. The quote on the pen reads, "This pen contains anti-check washing ink." On the pen it says, "uni·ball Signo."
