During a vacation trip through Europe, Martha and David arrived in Brussels, Belgium. Next day, after exploring various attractions and tasting local foods, they arrived in the evening at the city’s famous fountain that housed a bronze statue, locally known as “Manneken Pis” (Little Pissing Man, in English), depicting a naked little boy continuously urinating into the fountain's basin. Giggling tourists packed the place, taking photos and selfies. Soon two burly Russian gentlemen, intoxicated from drinking for hours in a nearby pub, appeared. One asked the other “How much vodka do you think he drank, thus urinating non-stop for ages?” |

How much would be considered "a little too much" and that's the suspense here, Jim.

Phew! I was afraid they were going to join him, Sankar. Now that would be a little too much, Jim.

Maybe they did join him to display a group activity for the generations to come, Candace. But I ran out of words, being already used up my quota of 100 words.

Like Candace, I thought they were going to join in. I would love to have read your description of "a group activity". Several images are coming to my mind.

Sue, I didn't want to be censored, sending me to FFF-jail by the "Big Brother".

Such a cute story, Sankar, I had to laugh. It's an adorable little statue, and those chocolate versions are wonderful as well.
