Water Tower Painters Put the 'Sex' in Sussex
It's the same prank that reportedly happened 20 years ago, but what's old is new again in Sus"sex".
SUS"SEX," WIS, — Poor Sussex.
The Sussex, Wis. municipal water tower is in the process of being re-painted by professional painters, and when they quit for the day, they left the letters "SEX" left on the tower when they quit.
Not too many towns can have this kind of prank pulled on them in such prominent fashion. Why, just try that with Milwaukee, Racine or Caledonia.

According to aFOX 6 report, when a reporter spoke with Village Administrator Jeremy Smith, he said, “the painters took some liberty when they finished with their work yesterday.” Smith said he is pretty sure the workers did this on purpose.

Smith also told FOX that a different painting company did the same thing 20 years ago.
