You Gotta Love This One......
Received this email this morning.....

I have a friend who is president of his Homeowners
Association in the Dallas, Texas suburbs. They were having a terrible problem with
litter near some of his association's homes. The reason according to Wallace
(my friend) is that six very large, luxurious new houses are being built
right next to their community.
The trash was coming from the Mexican laborers working at the
construction sites and included bags from McDonalds, Burger King and
7-11, plus coffee cups, napkins, cigarette butts, coke cans, empty bottles,
etc. He went to see the site supervisor and even the general contractor,
politely urging them to get their workers not to litter the neighborhood, to
no avail. He called the city, county and police and got no help there
either.
So here's what his community did. They organized about twenty
folks, named themselves " Inner Neighborhood Services" and arranged to go
out at lunch time and police the trash themselves. It is what they did while
picking up the trash that is so hilarious.
They bought navy blue baseball caps and had the initials "INS" embroidered in gold on the caps. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand what they hoped people might mistakenly think the letters really stand for.
After the Inner Neighborhood Services groups first lunch time
pickup detail, with all of them wearing their caps and some carrying
cameras, 46 out of the total of 68 construction workers did not show up for work
the next morning--and haven't come back yet.
It has been 10 days now.
The General Contractor I'm told is madder then hell but can't say anything publ icly b ecause he could be busted for hiring illegal aliens.
Wallace and his lunch buddies can't be accused of impersonating federal personnel, because they have the official name of the group recorded in their homeowner association minutes along with a notation about the vote to approve formation of the new sub-committee and besides, they informed the INS in advance of their plans and according to Wallace, the INS said basically, "Have at It"!
So folks, I think you could say that Texas ingenuity triumphs again!

It would have be nice if the real INS would have picked up the trash, and sent them back to Mexico. 0 -
