The Waldo Hutchins Bench

The Waldo Hutchins Bench in Central Park, NYC

Waldo Hutchins was an original member of the Board of Commissioners of Central Park, and in 1932 they erected a bench to commemorate his service. Other commemorative erections located throughout the park include:

-A life-size bronze pebble created for park designer Frederick Law Olmsted (current whereabouts unknown)
-A life-size bronze gorilla created for current park commissioner Adrian Benepe
(Benepe really likes gorillas)
-A bronze piece of pizza presented to Arnie Boyd (random man that prefers pizza over jelly beans)
-A bronze ottoman presented to August S. Hutchins (to go with his father's bench)
-A bronze penis (commemorates everyone whose mind went phallic when they read "commemorative erections" at the beginning of this post)

Waldo was very grateful to have had an opportunity to serve his city, and was responsible for inspiring many commemorative erections throughout Central Park.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

They just don't do commemorative erections like they used to.

Also, big finger, little nose.

What kind of a guy raised you to make such fun of erections?

Little erection... big nose, but size doesn't matter! Girls don't believe it! Just kidding
