[b][Bostonian Man's Gift of 20ft Traffic Cone Statue, Crowned by Scots Within 10 Minutes of Unveiling A Boston resident with family roots stretching back to Glasgow in the late 1800s, has created and gifted a giant traffic cone to Scottish fans. Local man Angus McDougall the 4th unveiled a giant 20 foot traffic cone sculpture in downtown Boston today, as a tribute to the impact Scotland supporters have had on the city during the World Cup. The enormous cone, constructed by hand over the last 4 days, was intended to celebrate the friendship between Boston and Scotland, the city's booming hospitality trade, and the fact that Scottish fans have somehow managed to turn half of Massachusetts into an outdoor pub. "My great great great grandfather came over from Glasgow in the 1880s," explained McDougall. "I wanted to honour my heritage and thank the Scottish fans for bringing so much life and energy to Boston." What happened next has left Bostonians stunned. According to witnesses, the monument remained in its original condition for approximately ten minutes. Footage from the scene shows a group of Scottish supporters gathering around the cone shortly after the ceremony before one was heard asking "That's brilliant... but whaur's its hat?" Within minutes, a highly organised operation appeared to spring into action. Witnesses reported Scots disappearing in multiple directions before returning with a small bronze figurine of an unidentified historical figure. Supporters quickly resorted to a method refined through generations of Scottish engineering by standing on each other's shoulders. Crowds watched as a human pyramid of kilted volunteers was assembled beside the cone, with the supporter at the top eventually reaching the summit and carefully placing the statue in position. The crowd below also witnessed what it means to be a true Scotsman, shouts of "Check his tadger!!" coming from the crowd. The crowning of the cone stands as the official thankyou from Scotland to Boston. /b]
