One of the dubious pleasures of living in a small town is that some people are very noticeable. Undoubtedly, every place has its collection of buffoons, loons, heidbangers, bampots and other assorted weirdos, but they tend to show up more clearly in a small town.
For our own amusement, we have started an IPL (Idiots' Premier League). There are around fifteen contenders at present and we will be keeping an eye on them.
Presently, our league leader is a young fellow who spends nearly all day, every day, taking bits from his car and putting them back on. The only sensible and useful thing to do with this car would be to sell it to a scrap dealer, but he bashes away for hours on end. On the rare occasions he isn't pounding away at it, he parks it pretty much anywhere except in places that are legal. Quite often, he simply leaves it on the pavement. Judging by the number of yellow stickers we have seen on his car, he collects parking tickets at a staggering rate. His other contribution to society is related to this, he being the man responsible for sticking up little notices saying "Traffic wardens are scum."
Undoubtedly a Class A idiot and a worthy leader of the IPL.
