A water tower emblazoned with the word "sex" greeted drivers as they passed through a town in southeast Wisconsin, thanks to an ill-timed painting break.

The gaffe turned up in Sussex, a village about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Milwaukee.

Lived in Sussex 15 yrs ago or so. Tower was repainted at that time. Painters had fun doing same thing. It was like that for about one day. Funny.

It was national "news" at that time too. There is always a need to fill space and time with the media.

We had a local newspaper here called the County Times that uses tabloid style newsprint publish an edition where people's heads in the cover photograph covered up the "o" and the "y" in County.

Think about it.

Believe me, the last thing I think about when driving through Sussex is sex.
