Senile Stealers

Little did they know that the signs were painted with lead paint and, after many years of showing to friends on drunken nights, would eventually lead them to becoming sterile. Well it was either that or the drinking.

Looking back on that day, the poo day they called it, they would often comment on that being the best day of their lives. A sad sight it was actually, two old men bumping into each other at the same park 50 years later. They would look up at the modern signs and laugh.

People thought they were crazy, but they didn’t care. They often planned to steal the new signs, they still had the old signs but it was the feeling they remembered from that great day they craved.

The new signs were interesting too though, flying dogs and all that. They called their plan the great heist but of course; being senile old men, they forgot their plan the next day.

Over time they even forgot who each other were, eventually they would pass the signs in their respective homes and wonder, who would bring a dog in here?
