<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

PLEASE ONLY SERIOUS-ISH ANSWERS.

I've been thinking of this for quite some time now. It would be a full scale (1:1) statue of me perhaps throwing a goat (no, that is not some obscure sexual reference) or building a bridge. Or maybe just wearing a tuxedo looking all snazzy. Not quite sure.. Or even better, of another human that I enjoy the company of (like Jonathan Swift or Nikola Tesla for instance). Either way I don't see it mattering who it is of, as long as the artist has ample amount of material to work off of.

I'm not too sure on what type of stone I would like. I don't need anything fancy like marble, but I do want it to last a few hundred years or so. . Thought I'd ask the community to see if I could get some sort of estimate on how much this would set me back. Any help on what kind of stone or material would be best for this would also be very helpful.

Any artists out there have any idea how much a contract like this would go for?

Thanks!
