Protect the Poor Walls!

In stumbling around the City of Minneapolis website, I found a section providing advice for protecting walls from vandalism and graffiti. I thought to myself, "Self, walls are super-important right? Right. Better study this section carefully! Yup."

It turns out that if you live in Minneapolis, and if you have a wall that is near and dear to your heart and you wish to protect and preserve it, there are some steps you can take to make this possible! (These things may even work outside of Minneapolis, but I can't promise anything.)

I just know you'll love this first one!

First One: Build a fence in front of the wall! Isn't that brilliant? 

Second One: Who cares? Let's get back to the First One. I can't get over that. A fence to protect a wall!

As I think about it though, the Commies did put up barb-wire in front of their Berlin Wall modern art project/symbol of oppression. Wasn't this to give the riflemen in the guard towers more time to aim and fire upon anyone attempting to get over/under/through the wall? I can't remember, but hey, what a great way to protect their precious wall! I bet it cut down on all that pesky graffiti! 

Do the Israelis have a fence to protect their wall too? They really should because how else will they keep people from scratching their names into it or from peeing on it or from leaning against it or whatever? 

You know, I think I'll forward that wall safety information from the City of Minneapolis to the Israelis. It would be a shame if their nifty new wall didn't get a nifty new fence to protect its fragile little self.

  1. A wall around some portion of the city of Minneapolis? For what purpose? To protect Minneapolitans from us Saint-Paulites?

    Oh, but another exercise in futility!
