Inebriated youth Lewis Lumpley (16) is doing his bit for his community tonight by personally testing the strength of every single sign on the street.
While most young people his age would spend the aftermath of a bottle of Little Fat Lamb laughing at their own legs or turning the kitchen into a warzone, Lumpley decided to get out on the street and see which signs and posts need proper reinforcing.
“Check this out,” stated Lumpley, before putting his body weight on a No Parking sign that careened out of the yielding earth.
“That was an easy one!”
Lumpley then continued testing every post in his Betoota Heights community as confirmed by the videos his friends took to show that some young people still care about local infrastructure issues.
Not only did Lumpley’s work show which street signs were a potential hazard but the drunk young man created plenty of smiles when he tried his luck on a telegraph pole and made a complete ass of himself.
“Lumps, you dick!” stated one friend of Lumpley’s who’s never spent an evening of their life volunteering to assess the safety of their community.
“Oi, that’s Mr Sattler’s place over there! Reckon his mailbox is properly secured?”
“Better find out for him.”
