Perhaps calling Aaron Titus a hero is a bit overzealous. But it's hard for us to think of another word when describing this Maryland man, who recently got some well-deserved revenge on his local school board. At 4:30 one recent morning, Titus received a robocall, courtesy of the board, to inform him that schools would be opening two hours late. (Titus claims that he was already made aware of the late opening the previous evening.) The irritated parent decided to return the favor by hiring a robocall company to dial several members of Prince George County School Board at 4:30 a.m., and deliver the following message:
