A sharp-eyed Dean Kjerland, AKA Mr. Riverwalk Market Fair, alerted me to this item strapped to a sign at the entrance to the Just Food Co-op parking lot.
What is it?
And when that question is answered to my satisfaction, what else could it be if one’s imagination is left to run rampant?

Flower pot? Fire-hydrant condom?
A giant battery-operated pencil sharpener.

Jim Mallon live near here? It might be worth checking to see if he (or Leon Varjian) has a kid attending Carleton.
Regardless of who was responsible, it was a beautifully executed prank. Wish I could’ve seen it.
I think it (by Just Food) is either a poorly framed photograph or a Butt can … or both.
Cigarette butt disposal is correct, Victor. The photo, however, is excellent. 😉
