Your quoting of same** not only trips all kinds of nostalgia buttons but 
also reminds me of one of my favorite BBC television programs.  

That "statue,*" BTW, is remarkably lifelike, even replicating the faces in

Dick

*I think it must be fiberglass.  

**The fourth line, BTW is "The fundamental things apply ..."  (Between 
Casablanca and the TV series, I've heard it so often it's like it's chiseled 
in stone inside my brain.)
