Something Silly I Saw Today

In my never ending quest to add humor during the late nights of spring rush, I thought I would start a thread highlighting some of the ridiculous things that are designed, built or purchased for the landscape. I will post the first picture and I invite all of you to do the same. It is a very busy time for all of us so why not see something entertaining to help us through the day/night.

Apparently the mayor and the contractor in this town didn't get along.

I hope no one in this neighborhood has a double baby stroller or a dog that pulls really hard.

We have some of the same stuff down one road in our market. They expanded the road when there really wasn't room to, resulting in mailboxes stuck right in the middle of sidewalks.

Crazy.

That's the Ticket

Henry, I believe this is well qualified for this thread. Which do you think is more ridiculous - someone built this, or someone paid someone to build this?

I think I saw this wall a few years ago. Wasn't it built by "The 3 Little Pigs Landscapes" when they were first starting out? I guess the wolf will have no trouble huffing and puffing here.

Save the picture for the future I'm sure it will make a nice "Exhibit A" sometime.
