There was a trashy house in our small town that had two old sofas out front near the street, and stray dogs would sleep on them every night. The yard was dirt - no grass. My son and his friend, when 13, snagged the town's "Yard of the Month" sign and put it in that yard.

I know someone who recently made use of a "Yard of the Month" sign to shame a neighbor. They cleaned their crap up within a week.

As a freshman in high school in 1982, our student body sang in unison to the band playing Cocaine in the talent show that year. The Principal was pissed but didn't do anything about it. I can't see that flying now. They even let the band finish the set.

We used the phrase
"Locked her in my attic

Our whole life would be ruined these days
