so they melt in the rain then....
Many moons ago I was in charge of a night club refurb . The quick way to the café was out of the fire exit and along an alley that was shared with an office and the fire station .
The security guard for the office hated us using the short cut and went to such lengths as dismantling the push bar on the alleys door in an attempt to get us blamed for it . As a team of carpenters we just fixed the door . Anyhow , one day the lighting rigs for the club turned up in perfect shaped cardboard boxes . So perfect you could cut eye and arm holes in them and draw a silly face on the front . So we did . Then we went to the café and did a little dance in front of the office cctv .
The guard was that annoyed that he locked the alley door behind us and we had to walk the long way around with the boxes . As we got back to the club we threw the boxes in the skip and started to eat lunch only to hear a banging on the clubs fire door . It got opened and there was an angry guard asking to speak to the person in charge . Unlucky for him , that was me
He came charging towards me shouting about people with boxes on their heads and he had seen it on his cctv . I of course made out that he must be mental and that no one around here has a box on their head . The more he banged on about it the more stupid he made himself look and I asked him to leave as he wasn't wearing a hard hat or safety shoes . He hadn't even signed in at the office and I didn't like the fact he decided to use the fire exit as a means to enter the building . Just then someone from the clubs management turned up and they had found one of the boxes so decided to put it on their head and do a silly dance towards us .

Coming from County Durham, I know how hard you used to have it. We used to collect our cardboard boxes and send them down to them southerners in Yorkshire, so that you and your kin would have something to eat. Many's the time we sent Tudor Crisp boxes down south, thinking, the poor wee soul's won't even know what real Prawn Cocktail tastes like, but at least they can have a sniff of the box.Nay lad - us Yorkshire folk can only dream of 'aving t'cardboard box. Pure luxury!

Me too. Turn the box on it's side and it becomes a transmogrifier.

As @User would say, another subtle joke trampled.
