Hmmm...do you suppose that the aforementioned path leads to that statue?
And, if so, how much time should I allot to viewing this work of art?
I hope that there are no limitations on how much time I can allot to viewing it!

It's a sweet idea... creating a statue honoring limitation, honoring the existence of frailties which many of us have. Some artists may visualize their creation as having an air of sadness, but others might see it as a joyful recognition of human traits.

That would have been a good commission for Rodin, but--sadly--he is long gone.
I wonder if any modern-day sculptors have the talent to capture the mood that would be necessary for a really good Statue of Limitations.

If there are none around, perhaps a Statue of Imitations will suffice.

This is a sad story, and I hesitated before posting here.
I was a little confused for a nano second after reading the last word.





About 6 years ago, I opened my door to depart and a neighbor's massive dog ( mutt) rushed in and bit my substantially smaller dog- nailed the juggler.

That is a very sad tale, especially in view of that person's little dog having a unique talent.

Not so surprised to hear that - lice are commonly spread at institutions such as schools.
