Smoking "Statues"

I spend a lot of time wandering around the plaza near the Strasbourg cathedral.  Not only is the architecture beautiful but you just never know what you are going to see.  Most of the time there are performances of one kind or another.  If not, the tourists are fascinating to watch as well.  

I wandered through the area in the morning and saw a man painted gold who was pretending to be a statue.  He was very good at standing perfectly still.  He seemed to be a bit of a prankster though.  When people got too close he would unexpectedly move.  This caused the unsuspecting person to jump, possibly scream a little, and most likely giggle.  He was also a bit of a Casanova, kissing various ladies on the hand.  

When I walked back through the cathedral plaza later in the day, a second golden buddy had joined the first.  They were taking a break from their mime duties.  Do you know where statues keep their cigarettes hidden? They keep them under their platforms, of course.
