Naw, piano wire is too messy. Squirt em with the hose. We had a young kid who would barrel down our street (in his car) during the summer. Instead of chancing him hitting the little boy across the street, we turned the hose on his car as he went by.
Summer. Hot. Open window. No more lead-footed kid.
Next time i'm trying to pick up a young lady, I think i'll try the bird's method... I didn't know chainsaws and cameras were a girl's best friend!
