It started with my husband's ability to irritate people with his witty comments and this particular occasion was at the legendary “Battle of the Bone” High School football game. I'm unsure which comments he was throwing around, but one neighbor suggested that she make a trip to the local Wal-Mart to get some toilet paper. Of course, all lies in jest, but the moment that she said it, I went into beg mode! Please don't do that to my house! The last time we had to clean up toilet paper, my husband made Kamee climb the trees to get all the little pieces out of the top branches! He swore he was going to get surveillance cameras to prove who did it when he pressed charges! To make matters worse, he was cleaning up the front yard in his green bath robe, and his over sized Pluto slippers! I didn’t notice what his ensemble consisted of, until a lady drove by shaking her head with disapproval!
Sure enough this morning our front yard trees were subjected to a 24 pack of the expensive quilted double ply! Sadly, we were out late last night at a baseball game, so we slept in until 11am! I bet that everyone coming and going loved our new yard decor! Kamee and I started cleaning up all that we could reach however the tops of our trees are a good 20 feet above my house and there is only so much a rake can reach. A man from across the street brought over a cane pole and my husband proceeded to gather the TP from the tree tops with the worst of attitudes ever! At least he left the slippers and robe inside the house this time! And he wasn’t even ranting and raving! There is still some at the very tops of the trees, but it isn’t all over the power lines anymore…so the possibility of a fire is no longer there. Thank goodness!
Now for revenge…or was this the revenge of some offensive comment my husband made at a high school football game? It could possibly have been someone else… but I don’t think so. My sister suggested that I put her house up for sale by owner…which is pretty good. I may just do that. A for sale sign could cost something more than a 24 pack and take less time to take down. I will have to think of something that will be just as good…

Fabulous, I am the FIRST one to comment!! Welcome to the world of blogging, and let me offer you a TP-ing tip:
Whirl the TP in your blender until you have a large garbage back of TP fluff. Spread it over the offender's lawn. Make sure you do this before the automatic sprinklers come on.
It's just beautiful come morning...
Oh my, Sally you crack me up! That is great advise! Thank you so much!!!
One more word of advice: If this happens do you, DO NOT MOW YOUR LAWN TO GET IT OFF!
It just makes it worse... >:-D
