i took a day trip to verona last week.
it's known as the setting of shakespeare's romeo and juliet.
i always thought the famous balcony was the big attraction.
it isn't.
instead, it's this statue of juliet.

notice anything weird?
look again - the bronze finish on her right boob
is significantly different than the rest of the statue.
guess why?
because people like me are rubbing our hands all up on it!

before you get all "eww thy, why you gotta be so pervy?" let me explain.
according to romantic superstition (and silly tourists from all over the world),
rubbing juliet's right breast is supposed to bring you good luck with love.
in case you don't believe me,
here are some photos i took of juliet's other boob-grabbers:




see! i'm not so pervy after all.
maybe a little pathetic and desperate.
but certainly not pervy.
oh yeah, and there's this balcony thing you may have heard about:
