Subject: And I post AGAIN!

Another story from the Breathtaking Adventures of Toffly the Wonder Observer:

An old man is sitting on a bench. He is wearing an old grey wool coat that is far too big for him. His posture is low, his face expression sad and resigned. He facing away from the figure sitting right next to him on the bench. It is a man-size, plastic, Ronald McDonald advertising clown statue. By coincidence (I REALLY hope so) the statue is turned towards the old man and smiling its worldwide, creepy McClown smile. Yes, that smile. Furthermore, it's been modelled so that its arm is placed casually along the back of the bench. But there's nothing casual about it now: it is in fact holding the old man around his shoulder. It looks like Ronald is trying (enthusiastically, unsuccessfully and completely without feeling) to comfort the sad old man. Or gloat at him. Symbolically, it's an image worthy of a Pulitzer Prize.

And four meters away from them is a photo store! It's a temptation worthy of the Bible. Luckily, I'm broke. SATAN, I SPITE THEE!
