Paint a happy face on it!

Years (and years and years) ago a large radar dish in Peru (don't ask)
needed some maintenance and a field site crew used some on-hand paint
to bring it up to code, made a happy face, stowed the dish in the
upright position, and left the area. While the decor didn't affect the
performance of the dish at all, some in Officialdom were *not* amused.
Of course they took pictures before they left. :-)
