You have probably heard the old adage, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Well, I seem to keep being fooled.The bronze statue shown to the left is located on Spear Street between Howard and Folsom. It is in a small courtyard next to one of my company's buildings.
I walk past this statue everyday. Usually twice a day. And yet EVERY time I have to do a double take.
At eight thirty in the morning, "Oh, what is that man taking a picture of?" At six o'clock at night, "What's that guy taking a picture of?"
Even I thought by now I would have stopped doing a double take.
The best part is that it is a bronze statue. It's not like it has on multiple colors of clothing or that it's skin tone is differentiated from its hair color. It's basically all one color.
So I have come to accept that I am going to stop every day and turn and look at this statue and wonder "What is he taking a picture of?"

Oh my god! you are hilarious! The thing that makes your blog so funny is that I DO THE SAME EXACT THING! There is a statue by the 2 folsom building...the statue of the couple on the bench, and I always think its really 2 people just sitting there. After 4 years, I still have not learned.
