I couldn't imagine what they were going to be used for. I was imagining some sort of decoration but we have a pretty plain looking facility, so that's not likely. I eliminated using them to stuff a bra or as a murder weapon. They wouldn't need to be painted to be used for those purposes.
It will probably remain a mystery. But, they were kind of pretty (for rocks) painted the pastel colors.
UPDATE 5/13/15: I found out from one of my co-workers after posting this same photo on Facebook that the rocks were painted to look pretty so they could be used as paper weights at radio station live broadcast events. I would never have guessed that, but at least the mystery has been solved.
Three freshly painted rocks sitting in the sun. I wondered why they were painted and they said "we like to have fun". |
