Carve rock in a very large area into the shape of a
person
lying down and holding an arbitrary object in his hand.
He should be at least 20 miles tall. Carve a meaningless
inscription under him, something like "For harboring
the
aarvarks in our time of need we solute you Lord John
Doe"

Baked - The Sphinx ("Let's put a massive statue of a made-up animal here - that'll confuse them") |

Somebody will come along with a hammer and chisel
and insert the missing "d". |
|
| |
...and turn the 'o' into an 'a' |
|
| |
It 's fun to stay at the Y... |
|

It should be located on Gilligan's Island. |

Baked. It used to be called graffiti. Now its called
talkbacks. Splleing mistakes and all. |

In 1989 I remember entering the Hebrew
University campus and seeing the whole entrance
sprayed (in Hebrew) with 5 meter tall letters, and
five stories high, saying: God has knowledge, but
no method. |

On a Friday about 10 years ago, we had a giant
wooden contraption erected near my house, with
a huge vertical frame and a gigantic empty rock
slab set in the middle of it. |
|
| |
Walking home from synagogue that Saturday I
stopped in front of it and scratched my head in
wonder. Someone else walked by and stopped
next to me. A family passing by did so as well.
What do you think it is? someone asked. The
crowd got bigger. |
|
| |
This is fantastic! I said. Whoever made it is a
genius. They're making a monument for no more
names. No more death by war. No more unknown
soldiers. No more terror victims. No more car
accidents. An empty plaque, with no name on it! |
|
| |
No, said someone else. Its not a plaque for names
at
all. Its a flat slab, for skating on, but upwards to
the sky. It is for depicting the heavens and the
impossible. |
|
| |
Nah, said a lady who had just joined the
discussion. Its an empty slab, left for you to use
your own imagination, and think what you would
write there in stone. |
|
| |
A young Ethiopian Jew who came to see what was
happening said: Maybe its because we are a
religious town and they didn't want to go against
the ten commandments making an idol with a
shape. Its saying: Do not worship stone idols, by
not saying anything. |
|
| |
One of my neighbors said: I think its just because
they didn't have time to put the names up, and on
Sunday they'll continue the job and finish it. |
|
| |
C'mon! everybody said and dispersed. |
|
| |
The next day, the workers came and put up the
names of a couple, husband and wife from our
town, both driving teachers, who were killed in a
car accident. |
|
| |
If that had been a joke (and the rhythm was that of one of my favorite jokes), after all that talk, the slab would have fallen on all of you, and then they would have hoisted it back up and waited. |
|
| |
Not a very funny joke, I am aware. But funnier than the driving teachers. |
