2nd today: Incoherent protest

On my travels every Thursday, I pass a house with an old bread truck in front of it. The man decided to use the vehicle to stage his dissatisfaction when the local phone company visited his property to perform repairs on phone lines in the area, and painted the truck with this large-print rant posted on it:
"(Company X) smashes/destroys slate sidewalk, replaces with cheap concrete. House devalued by $20,000. Notice the receipts I have. Where are your answer receipts?"
Um, what kind of receipts? Is that in contrast to a question receipt?
OK, so your house was greatly devalued. Sorry to hear that. So in response, you spend a bunch of money for an assessor, or maybe two, seeing as how you have multiple receipts; and then you spend more money to retrofit your truck into an angry billboard?

Apparently, you didn't spend money on a grammar tutor. Or a financial advisor.
