In a small town just north of Rome, the beautiful nude statues of a young man and woman stand in the piazza.
They face each other…………….almost touching and had done so for almost 2000 years.
An angel looking down upon them and noting the almost human quality of the look in their eyes, decided to bring them to life………………he did so and told them that they had 30 minutes and then it was back to being statues for eternity.
The boy grabbed the girl and ran behind some nearby bushes and soon sounds of great joy and ecstasy filled the air.
At the end of the appointed time they emerged from behind the bushes; the boy had a triumphant look on his face and the girl was looking demurely at the ground.
The angel thought……………………2000 years and they only 30 minutes; so he decided to grant them another half hour.
Upon hearing this the boy again grabbed the girl and looking deeply into her eyes he shouted:
GREAT, BUT THIS TIME, YOU HOLD THE PIGEONS AND I’LL CRAP ON THEM!!!
