    If you ever had the chance what would name a piece of council equipment, anything!
    What you would you name it?
    For example: a road sweeper could be called "Sucky McSuckface!" or the "sucker of the county" (think country & western).

    The only thing worse is the "what character from Friends are you?" question being replaced by the "what It's Always Sunny in Philedelphia character are you?".
