Forget the blue ribbons, cheap plaques, and bronze trophies - if I've done something good for a company I want an award that will last longer than a couple of hundred years. This new business would provide one. For the right price they'll let companies buy a spot on a mountainside for the face of the
employee(s) of their choosing. If you're rich enough you could even pay for your own spot. That way thousands of years from now people will still be able to see what you accomplished.

Mine would have to be wearing a wide-brimmed hat - I want to provide maximum shade for loiterers. |

I'm good with the idea. I'm not so sure about people remembering what you did. The purpose of the Easter Island heads is a mystery, let alone the names and accomplishments of the people who built them. |

This idea is screaming out for an illustration. |

I just hope they make a better job when
they come to do my nose. |

Rumor has it that the islanders do put large coral hats on the for certain occasions... of course, this rumor is straight from Von Daanikin, who tried to describe the hats as being helmets. |
|
| |
A discovery channel showed the islanders as having coral eyes that they put into the eye sockets of the heads on occasion... so maybe no hats. Daanikin isn't the most accurate scholar. |

Love this idea. Can't believe I didn't see it or [FarmerJohn]'s terrific illustration at the original unveiling. |
