Ok, so all I get to hear about these days on the radio and such is the number of Kerry/Edwards signs that have been disappearing around the city. I found that kind of childish and started paying closer attention to the signs in the neighborhood.
I saw that, in my neighborhood at least, this wasn’t happening. Until my Bush/Cheney sign suddenly disappeared. I took a drive around and did a mental note on the sign locations. Yup, all the Kerry ones still in place; however, there was another missing Bush sign. Then a day or so later, another, then another, slowly it appears that someone is going through the area and pulling out the Bush signs. When talking to the lady at the Republican Election Headquarters for Jackson County they had no additional yard signs as it seems a lot of them are being taken.
This is so ignorant as to think that taking a sign will help get your candidate elected. This inspired me to come up with a solution.
I have 5 poster signs, a few for backup, ready for construction. I’m placing double edged razor blades at key points where someone would grab the sign. I have them well placed and somewhat “hidden”. Paying close attention and you’ll see them with no problems. Doing a drive by and yanking it in the middle of the night though; well, that might cause a bit of skin to break open.
Nothing like a few stitches and a good scar to help remind someone of their stupidity in the future!
Oh and for those of you going to post about the liability, I’ll work that out when the handsomehunk who tried to take it in the first place tries to explain the situation and how their fingers came to be close enough to get shredded.
