Paint test

City Councillor: I'm getting stick from some of my constituents about a laneway in the area. The walls always get plastered with graffiti.

Maintenance Superintendent: Actually, we plan to do a paint job there very shortly.

City Councillor: Won't that be a bit of a waste of time? Won't the gurriers just deface the freshly painted walls like they did the old ones?

Maintenance Superintendent: We've got that covered. We're going to test different colours to see which is least likely to attract that lot. There's also the question of picking a colour that's best to make the vandals stand out against it for the surveillance cameras.

City Councillor: Okay so. I suppose you'll be doing the test the same way the wife does it at home when she takes a notion to do a re-paint job?

Maintenance Superintendent: That's right. Should solve all our problems.
