Public art

We walked past this sculpture in Helsinki one night after dinner. The three of us, two women and one man, stood and silently contemplated it for a minute. My male friend finally said "I don't know what you women think when you see this kind of thing, but as a guy, I see penises near heavy machinery and I know I'm gonna at least put on some underwear before I break out the buzz saw..." This guy is one of the funniest people I've ever met. I'm incapable with laughter when he's around. He's usually in the classroom when I'm teaching grade 5---it's hard to keep from guffawing in the middle of some explanation about adjectives vs. adverbs.
