A man is dedicated to immortalizing famous sayings and quotes on the bricks surrounding his house. He collaborates with friends to come up with new sayings every weekend. Some of the sayings already on the bricks include 'he who kills cats, raises mice' and 'when the emperor URS, the peasant trembles.' Suggestions for additional sayings include 'two wrongs don't make a right' and 'the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.' The man has covered every brick and is now expanding to the pillars of his veranda, with plans to build an outhouse due to space constraints. His dedication to this project is evident as he works day and night, creating a permanent reminder of these sayings in Cuba.
