This is a lesson in how to make the best of a bad situation. How to turn a case of societal ignorance into a case of Everybody Wins.
Some skeezy lowlife left a giant dog poop directly outside our office. I'm talking a pile of the stuff. Gross huh? So what do we do with it? We decide to pool a little money together and stick a FIVE DOLLAR BILL under the pile of dog poop.
here's a video of us putting the money under the poop. (3mb)
And then we waited with our cameras.
Several people walked by. Everyone was laughing.
It wasn't meant to be a cruel prank -
just a funny way to turn a gross situation into comedy. Seriously.
Finally, after about an hour, one of the office park's
maintenance guys comes through to clean up the poop.
Even still, people can't help but stop and share a good laugh over this all.
We cheered up a bunch of people with this little trick!
Only $5 can make so many people happy.
We salute you, Mister Groundskeeper Man!
Real men of geeeeenius!
All in all, everyone involved now has a great story to tell.
And the maintenance guy has a thoroughly washed and disinfected fiver!
In a way, this was the best possible outcome.
The guy was going to have to clean up someone else's poop anyway.
At least this way he got a tip for it!
