THE POLICE
13.5 X 6 X 6"
After having
been a brilliant student at the Police Academy,
young police officer Richard Thompson was newly appointed
to the city’s anti-violence brigade. The very same day the City Bank
was attacked by three highly armed robbers.
The police immediately arrested one of the bandits.
After his constitutional rights were read to him, he was seated in the back,
and handcuffed to Officer Thompson’s wrist, who was ordered to punish
any sudden movement of the suspect severely.
Without any further hesitation
they left to follow the rest of the gang, who answered with loaded Kalachnikovs,
Magnum 357s and rocket launchers.
The gunfire lasted two hours.
Even with the hood and windscreen covered with holes,
the courageous men in blue continued to risk their lives until the outlaws were
caught.
Later that night, when the police officers finally found Officer Thompson
still hidden under the back seat, they advised him to find another job.
He now sells popcorn in a movie theater in Iowa.
THE LAWYER
16.5"
The defendant was
accused of assault with a firearm and the robbery
of two chickens and six eggs. Despite the testimony of four witnesses,
the discovery of hundreds of feathers in his house, without speaking of a stew
pot
full of chicken bones and an old frying pan with leftovers of an omelette, the
famous lawyer
Mario Puzotti, at the
end of an eloquent defence,
managed to persuade the jury of his client’s innocence and to convince them that
the true guilty one was society.
The accused was
freed ipso facto and, under thundering applause and cries from the public
of “encore, encore,” the talented lawyer was obliged to return
several times to bow to his frenzied audience.
THE DOCTOR
16.5"
Doctor José Batle was a recognized expert in his field. His diagnoses, always exact,
saved the lives of hundreds of people and earned him the admiration of high society.
Everything was going perfectly until
the day when, arrived to his office, the most well-known
actress in Hollywood, the ravishing Marilyn Hayworth, victim of a sprained
little finger.
Without wasting an
instant, Doctor Batle had the patient take off her
clothes to assure himself that she
had no other complications anywhere on her body.
After a thorough and detailed examination, he confirmed that …he had fallen
deeply in love.
The diva thanked him for all his diligent attention and left the office leaving
in the air
behind her a suggestive perfume of camellia. Ever since that day, Doctor Batle
never stops thinking
of the great Marilyn, hoping that she sprains another finger so that he can
perform
a new examination, this time even more detailed.
JUST MARRIED
13.5"
Stephanie always
took care of her stylish figure, but since she has been working as a waitress,
she suffered horribly when succulent sandwiches, hamburgers, pizzas, fries, ice
cream,
chocolate mousse passed before her eyes……….dishes she could only look at to
satisfy herself.
One day while working, she heard a strange sound,
like a siren. At first she thought it was
her new mobile phone and then she realized that the whistling came from her
stomach and she felt like crying.
At that precise moment a group of young people
entered the restaurant.
Among them was a boy who observed her attentively. It was love at first sight.
The young man, dumbstruck, mouth wide open, looked into her eyes
and drew a ridiculous smile. A little while after, Stephanie couldn’t
believe
what was happening to her, dressed in a wedding dress with an enormous
bouquet of flowers in her hands and seated in a magnificent convertible next to
Gilles,
the love of her life, who in an impeccable tuxedo, had on his lips, the same
ridiculous smile of that famous first day.
THE PLAYBOY
13.5"
Calolo Oviedo had
always been a dandy. He adored the company of young women
with long legs and voluptuous shapes. The day he met Delma, he fell in love
immediately,
love at first sight. And when the ravishing Delma learned that Mister Oviedo
owned
many oil wells, she also fell madly in love.
An afternoon of wild
passion, Calolo
was at the point of sinking his yacht. You should have seen him running, with
little hops, from the bow
to the stern, in his bathing trunks, with a bottle of Champagne in the hand,
chasing the woman of his heart.
What passion! Even if Calolo had to stand on a little bench to kiss his beloved
and take pills to maintain
his vigor, the fervor of his love was rising like his shares on the stock
market.
Up until the moment when he passed out and his doctor advised him to calm his
love lust.
THE NURSE
17"
The patient in room seven was totally hysterical. He had been in the emergency
room for two hours
for a bruised big toe and had managed to drive everyone crazy. The doctors
didn’t know what to do
to calm him down: one wanted to strap him to the bed, another suggested
amputation,
others just wanted strangulation.
Finally, they opted for the most effective,
for the worst…to call the nurse in building six, the “terrible Irene” -
the ‘squirt’ specialist!
