Nothing to do with OC nor CC, but here goes...
A few years ago the borough workers in my town were painting lines on the road with a walk-behind machine.
Since I am friends with them I jokingly asked if they would paint lines in my parking lot. Of course they declined, stating that they were not allowed to do so.
About 11:45 they stopped back to tell me they were going to lunch. They asked if they could leave the machine in my parking lot while they were gone.
Of course I agreed. Then the supervisor went out of his way to tell me how it worked. Which buttons to press, etc.
As soon as they left I started painting lines in the parking lot. When they returned an hour later they all laughed. The supervisor said I couldn't paint a straight line if I had to and he finished the job for me.
Sometimes life in a small town is good.
