Unfinished paint job really highlights the 'sex' in Sussex

The village of Sussex, Wisconsin, has quite the new tourist attraction after workers were unable to finish their water tower's paint job.

Workers who were updating the city's name on the structure were forced to abandon the project midway through due to a venting issue. The remaining three letters "s-e-x" have yet to be painted over, and, of course, it's bringing out the 13-year-old boy in all of us.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Twenty years ago the water tower displayed the same message, and there's no guarantee it won't happen again when they get to work on the other side of the tower.

The village administrator believes the workers left up the word there for their own amusement. The contractor was amused by it as well, "We kind of like the honks when they go by and a little bit of the road traffic."

Kind of a new take on 'honk if you're horny,' only less subtle.
