Monument

In which Cousin invests in an experiment

Good time of day, humans!

It’s the silly time of the week, which means, as Cpt. Obvious would say, that it’s time to do something silly.

Bonus story:

Two stone statues, male and female, were standing in a city park, gazing at each other for decades.

One day, a passing wizard caught sight of them, sighed, and said:

— I’ll bring you to life for a brief time, so you can fulfill your most hidden desires. But hurry, you’ll have only ten minutes!

The statues promptly disappeared into the nearby bush, and all sort of strange sounds could be heard from there. Five minutes later, they emerged from the bush, blushing and visibly happy.

— You have another five minutes left! — the confused wizard said.

The man gave the woman a short look, and said:

— Alright. Now I’ll hold the pigeons, and you’ll poop on them.
