✆ Well, since the bums probably make more mess in this town than any dogs, they ought to be more concerned about that. What they should do is go after everybody else that puts up stuff on the trees, like these idiots that have their yard sales all the time — they put up the signs and they never take it down. Now, they should be easy to find cause they’ll have their address on them. And then there’s all these stupid politicians — they put their junk up on the telephone poles and trees and they leave those up long after the election. They should go after all the people who leave all their junk in the parks, like the bums with all their shopping carts and stuff they steal. Do something about that, instead of somebody who’s actually trying to make something useful.
