I've been working in high rise buildings almost half of my life and the best thing that can be said of them is that they are predictable.
On the other hand, a 40-storey bust of Porky Pig, or whomever we choose to portray on banknotes, or whatever, would be a readily recognisable landmark. ("I work
in the Hector Elizondo building", she said. I knew exactly where that was.)
This is not only possible, using current technology, but would allow for a whole range of plush toys and marketing gags to be introduced to the cold, dry world of business.

/I hear the Jennifer Lopez building has quite an annex/ |
|
| |
Several, in fact. There's the Ojani Noa annexe, the Chris Judd annexe, and lastly the Ben Affleck annexe (originally affiliated to the Matt Damon complex, but subject to a hostile take-over when the original annexes together proved insufficient for the Lopez Corporation's needs). |

I'm Gigling over that last one. |
