Damn Potheads!

[Malthus]

My elderly parents have a cabin in the woods north of Barrie, Ontario. Apparently, even in such a rural spot, you are obliged to hang out a street number on a government-issued sign. The only problem is that the sign keeps getting stolen. Their neighbours' signs aren't stolen -only theirs. Repeatedly. The government is now charging them a replacement fee.

They had no clue as to why ... as it turns out, their number is "420". Which is allegedly some sort of stoner code-number. No doubt the missing signs are decorating some asshole stoner's room.

Maybe you should stop stealing your parents' signs.

[Grey Fox]

You need to hang it much, much higher.

My house number on our street is 1377.  Dunno how many times I've mis-typed it as 1337.

You've been telling us to steal Malthus' parents' sign?

Oddly specific ...

All fucking potheads must fucking hang.

I have a question, Malthus.

The new sign, is it issued to your parents? Or a government worker nails in place & they get a bill?

Because if it's issued to them, I would just delay installation as long as possible. If the Ontario government is anything like any other government, years are going to pass.

Could kill two birds with one stone and hang a pothead as the road sign ...

They get issued a sign & have to hang it themselves.

Pin the street number on his chest.

killing people for stealing signs seems a bit out of proportion to the crime

I see. Then the solution is to not hang a sign.
