Seems to me that there are an awful lot of people with not enough to think about if that’s the best they can come up with. This is too funny.

[AppyPappy]

Sorry. When I saw it, my first reaction was not “Dude, that’s a dick”.

[2Jedismom]

Should change the name of the town to

[COBOL2Java]

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!"

[jackibutterfly]

"I've got an idea -- maybe integrate some water art -- an occasional fountain from each one at random intervals?"

Hooooo, boy! :-)

[SoldierDad]

ROFLOLOLOL. Only too true, too true!!:}

It looks like a grain silo to me.

[Tamar1973]

It kind of looks like the Dol hareubang you find in South Korea's Cheju province.

[NautiNurse]

I wonder what they say about the Oregon state capitol building.

[KingLiberty]

Pope’s hat, a well known example.

[Clara Lou]

Exactly. There are several like that sitting at the doors of our local grocery store. Have been for years. Apparently someone forgot to complain. Or, maybe people’s minds have been on something more meaningful.

"Hey, I think they look great!"

[T.Smith]

Let us hope these Oregonians never take a trip to monument valley.

[NewHampshireDuo]

I remember hearing once upon a time that the shape of dish detergent bottles and the like (things normally handled by women) have a, uh hum, natural basis.

[Clara Lou]

Just which Pope’s hat are you talking about? [pic please]

[savedbygrace]

“Ma’am, I understand you want to file a complaint against the man in the apartment across the alley for indecent exposure, but I can’t see his window from here.”

“Well, officer, it you stand on the top this step stool in front of my bathroom window and lean as far as you can to the left, you can see it.”

[Revolting cat!]

And then there is the English cucumber, which comes wrapped in a condom, in every store I've seen it!

[RockinRight]

I am suing them for using likeness (to scale, even) for these posts.

[quark]

Now, that’s what I call “intelligent design!”

[KingLiberty]

The mitar, I think they call it. I’ve never posted a picture, don’t have the equipment at this site and don’t know if I know how at my others.
