FanStory.com - Street Art or Pornography?by T B Botts

This past ten days or so, all of my kids have been visiting, as well as grandchildren and great grandchildren. To say the least, it's been hectic. I wanted to spend a little time with my older son before he had to leave, so we decided to drive around and look for a spot to go fishing.

As we were driving outside the neighborhood, we came across several considerable pot holes in the street. One is located right in the center of the road, making it almost impossible to miss. I was cursing the borough for not getting around to fixing them, as they have been a problem for the better part of a year.

In full agreement he remarked, " down in Ketchikan, people got tired of complaining to the city council, so they started painting penises in front of the holes."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Nope. They had plenty of time to fix things, but our complaints fell on deaf ears, so some folks decided to take matters in their own hands. It worked too. Pretty soon the city was sending crews out to fill in the holes with pavement and paint over the artwork."

Hmmm... perhaps they've stumbled onto something here. When the government, that our taxes funds, refuse to do their job, why waste time complaining to city hall? Grab some florescent paint and go play Picasso. I personally am not much of an artist, but my grandson has drawn some pretty suspect pictures of lighthouses. Perhaps I could enlist his artistic skills.

They say you can't fight city hall, but perhaps they're wrong.
