Ski lift fail








A local drug rehab center had fallen into disrepair
 and the grounds were in shambles.
 The newly hired director assumed the task of upgrading the facility.
 The improvements became the pride of the downtown section
 of the city with newly planted bushes and a lush, thick lawn, 
and accent art scattered everywhere.

The director of the center was known for his humorous approach 
to even the most traumatic of circumstance
. Considering the service he was providing to the community,
 his constant, upbeat personality was the envy
 of all who came to know him.

He was also into landscaping with a passion 
and the new lawn and bushes and new,
 young trees were a source of great pride for him.


And so it was not a surprise when he chose a motto
 for the drug rehabilitation center that matched 
his desires for the preservation of the center's good appearance
 Keep Off The Grass.
