Reminds me of a METAR observation taken some years ago.
A lot of weather observing sites are remote shacks set up in the middle of the Airfield, or middle of no where for that matter. After you encode all of the pertinent information (winds, clouds, temps, etc...) you have the remarks section, where you put all the little extra stuff.
Well this guy out in Alaska once got trapped in his shack by an irate polar bear. So he took his observation, and in the remarks section put down "trapped by bear send help". These observations go out worldwide...
