Officer, I swear I was not going to do anything to or with the statue's horn

I was merely trying to get my blocks of Limburger down from this cheese aging pole.

If I wasn't such a dignified statue I would so turn around and kick his ass right now.

I conquered the world and the seven seas and they still put my statue next to the idiot pole.

(Okay I have no idea of who the statue is but he looks like the kind of person who could make that type of comment.)

Actualy all this is is my inner voices getting out. I often think about what a statue would say when seeing where and how they get placed in public locations.

(Really my mind runs like this the whole time I am awake.)

As a statue I can tell that its rare day that you ever have to endure anything worse than pigeon crap. Today is a rare day indeed.

If I jabbed him with the point on my flagpole I wonder if he would 'Wile E Coyote' himself all the way into the parking lot before landing?

Okayyyyyy, I can see where a drunken Ruskie would want to climb poles for the hell of it, but what's with the yellow undies and the two bags of dog crap?

Oh No! Now his doctor will have to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before he can remove old-growth timber from a recreational area.

Statue on the left is a Fallen Hero of the USSR from the Great Patriotic War.....the idiot climbing the pole on the right, when he falls, will be a non-hero from the Russian Federation.
