STONY WORDS – quoting Roman statues

If the statues of Rome could speak, what would they say?

 

 

 

 

The soap did say “removes blackheads”, but this is ridiculous!

 

 

 

 

Ok, lean back. a little more. a little more. Ok that’s great. Hold it right there. Now throw your head back just a bit. Ok – that’s it! Don’t move… got it.

 

 

 

 

No nose, no fingers… spare some change? Please, spare come change…

 

 

 

 

No, my trunk was not always this long. I had it stretched so i could reach the peanuts people give me.

 

 

 

 

You call that dinky thing in your lip a ring? Ha! This here is a rrrrrring…

 

 

 

 

Hey boss – your shoes with the animal faces… i think they’re scaring the hell out of the dog!

 

 

 

 

Oh, brother: another fool with his camera. Let’s all make funny faces at him!

 

 

 

 

I hate it when the wind ruffles my skirt.

 

 

 

 

Hey, you can’t turn there! Oh, you are so busted: i’m writing down your plate numbers…
