I have written to the teens before and challenged them to be more witty. I've told them a GOOD prank is one where no one is a victim, no horrible mess is made (that isn't cleaned up) and that everyone can laugh at.
They haven't caught on.
So today, I decided to actually DO a prank. Let's see how long it takes the community to catch on.
it's 10am now.
These signs are at the intersection that the kids typically TAPE.... all I did was print out a simple word in yellow and black and change the signs. I figure people who actually SEE it, might chuckle.
Before

AFTER:

See, NOT a ton of work, not a ton of mess, witty, fun... and enjoyed by all. Put up with poster putty so easily cleaned up.
I hope they'll learn from this. There are so many more awesome opportunities than TAPING.
