And watching news items when a hurricane is coming it seems there are hundreds of spray painted "Go away (insert hurricane name here)!!!!" signs on the ply wood they put up.

I don't have a single can of spray paint. Is this just something you own if you live in hurricane ridden places?

no it is a ridiculous gringo thing

and yes i have been through 7 hurricanes and i have never painted a stupid message on plywood
