But what about a baby's arm holding an apple?

A perplexed visitor inquires:

About 15 or so years ago, I was in Boston, maybe by the Aquarium, and noticed a statue in the harbor, kind of on the wall at the edge, of a sailor climbing out of the water. As the tide comes in, the body (statue) is covered and at high tide all you see is a hand reaching up. Do you have any idea what this, where this is, or if it even exists?

But maybe he's thinking of a Fort Point Channel art installation that was only temporary, like the mannequins inside inflated spheres that was out there for a while.

Just my first idea.

Maybe one of Whitey's

Maybe one of Whitey's productions.

A baby's arm holding an apple is slang for a large male member. Check out The Tubes and the song What Do You Want From Life?

I was hoping for a whole herd of Winnebagos

Knew a guy in Madison, WI that all the girls called B.A. It was a long time before I finally found out what that meant....
