Cut Your Grass

Matt lives in a town that requires its citizens to keep their grass height below 7 inches. If you don't the city will mow it for you and charge you for the cost. What a nice city.

Matt wasn't home when Ben and I showed up last night and his grass was definitely over 7 inches high. We decided to leave him a note from the city about his grass. On a scrap piece of paper I wrote this note:

Dear Homeowner,

Your grass is above the 7 inch limit. It needs to be shorter. You have one day to cut your grass or we will cut it for you. You will be charged for the cost of cutting the grass. Thank you for being a good citizen of our city (you big slob).

- The City Volunteer Yard Patrol

We then duct taped the note to Matt's front door.

Matt got home and flipped out about how he had to cut his grass the next day. It took Scott pointing out the fact that the "volunteer yard patrol" called him a big slob and duct taped the note to his door before Matt realized it was a joke. His upcoming wedding has obviously clouded his reasoning.

I'm still laughing about it.
