  1. Dude, for a minute I thought those were real life people with missing limbs and severed heads, but turned out to be wax figures.

Chained up to the wall, forced to stand up, nothing to look at but a dirty-ass wall. Your arms raised up-eventually they would feel tired and numb.

  1. Just imagine those people as your neighbors. You’re just being neighborly and welcoming them with smiles 🙂😃
