For decades, two heroic statues, one male and one female, faced each
other in a city park. One day an angel came down from heaven. "You've been
such exemplary statues," he announced to them, "that you've been granted a
special gift. I'm going to bring you both to life for thirty minutes, in
which time you can do anything you want." And with a clap of his hands,
the statues came to life. They approached each other a bit shyly, but soon
dashed for the bushes, from which shortly emerged a good deal of giggling,
laughter, and shaking of branches. Fifteen minutes later, the two statues
emerged from the bushes, wide grins on their faces. "You still have fifteen
more minutes," said the angel, winking at them. Grinning even more widely,
the female statue turned to the male statue and said, "Oh Great! Only this
time you hold the pigeon down and I'll shit on its head!"
