Local Man Claims to Have Built World’s Tallest Sandcastle, Neighbors Not Amused

In a stunning turn of events, local resident Bob “Sandy” McSanderson claims to have built the world’s tallest sandcastle right in his own backyard. The towering structure, which McSanderson says is a whopping 20 feet tall, has become the talk of the town—and not in a good way. “I’ve been working on this masterpiece for months,” said McSanderson, sporting a sunburn and a grin. “It’s got a moat, a drawbridge, and even a sand dungeon! Take that, Guinness World Records!” However, neighbors are less than thrilled about the sandy skyscraper that now obstructs their view and casts a long shadow over their properties. “It’s an eyesore,” complained Nancy Naysayer, who lives next door. “And he keeps borrowing my garden hose to keep the thing from collapsing. I’ve had enough!” Local authorities are also scratching their heads, unsure of how to handle the situation. “We don’t have any zoning laws that cover sandcastles,” said Officer Pebble, “but we’re looking into it.” Meanwhile, McSanderson has started offering “VIP Castle Tours” for $5 a pop, complete with a souvenir bucket of sand. “Business is booming,” he said, “I’m thinking of adding a second tower!” As the community remains divided over the sandy spectacle, one thing is clear: this is one sandcastle story that’s not going to erode away anytime soon.
