Painting The Crosswalk

One day during my sophomore year of college, my brother, Steve S, Bob L, and I were sitting outside of a coffee shop. We were watching pedestrians navigate the new crosswalk system they had put in. It was a terrible system. Steve made the comment, "Someone should paint a crosswalk there."

Bob leaned back in his chair and said, "That's a really good idea."

That summer, when we were sharing a house in Durham, Bob got some white paint. Late one night, he was laughing to himself. I asked him what was so funny and he said, "I think I'm going to paint the crosswalk tonight."

And here's the video:
