Two Statues

"Two Statues"*

*For decades, two heroic statues, one male and
one female, faced each other in a city park, until
one day an angel came down from Heaven.

"You've been such exemplary statues," he
announced to them, "that I'm going to give you
a special gift. I'm going to bring you both to life
for thirty minutes, in which you can do anything
you want."

And with a clap of his hands, the angel brought
the statues to life.

The two 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 knowingly.

Grinning even more widely, the female statue
turned to the male statue and said, "Great! Only
this time YOU hold the pigeon down and I'LL
crap on its head."
