What's the buzz? Teens can't stand it

Gough (pronounced GUFF) planned to install a sound system that would blast classical music into the parking lot, another method known to horrify hang-out youths into dispersing, but never got around to it. But last month, Stapleton gave him a Mosquito for a free trial. The results were almost instantaneous. It was as if someone had used anti-teenager spray around the entrance, the way you might spray your sofas to keep pets off. Where disaffected youths used to congregate, now there is no one.

My reaction:
* I'm mostly disturbed at the ghastliness of aging.
* This reminds me of people using draaiorgels to the same effect: troublesome teenagers tend to hate that kind of music.
* I'm wondering if we can find a similar technology to keep smokers from hanging around building entrances.

LOL

Q: * I'm wondering if we can find a similar technology to keep smokers from hanging around building entrances.

A: Sure, since people use smoking to relax. Simply mount a smoke alarm high up (so people can't destroy it). Nothing more annoying that a smoke alarm.

Most smoke alarms don't detect tobacco smoke.

But that is simply because they are tuned for non-tobacco smoke.

They use one of several methods (light interference, radiation, etc.).

Cigs have some specific characteristics though that are cheap to detect...so we don't need to worry about that, what we need to worry about is the 10Kwatt amplifier I plan to attach to the buzzer that scares the hell out of anyone that smokes.

Solution to France's problems?

If we can dissolve the teenage gangs... that'll be swell.
