A few months ago I posted about the annoyance of the automatic sprinklers turning my backyard into a swamp.(Read that post here if you're interested.)
At the time I was happy that the office had finally turned the sprinklers off, but apparently that was only a temporary reprieve.
Those suckers were right back on again in a few days, randomly spraying to their little plastic hearts' content.
It wasn't just the backyard, either, although that was definitely the most irritating place for an automatic sprinkler.
There were also sprinklers in the front: aboveground and made of PVC pipes with protruding sprinkler heads to puncture the tires of unsuspecting cars that accidentally strayed from the pavement.
But now, I have good news!
THEY FINALLY PULLED OUT ALL THE SPRINKLERS!
I saw some workmen oustide sawing the PVC pipes up and stacking them on the grass.
Which they left sitting out in piles.
So that later I saw a couple of neighborhood boys playing light sabers with them.
(Meaning the boys were whacking each other upside the head with lengths of PVC pipe.)
Seems like somebody should have anticipated that problem...
Aww yes, the imagination of little children!
