Wait, so she used to be in love with the Statue of Liberty (“Libby”) and actually changed her last name legally to “Liberty.” Does that make her a polyandrist? Or, I suppose since they are all referred to as “she” the lady is a polygamist?

Or has the Statue of Liberty lately been divorced? I feel bad, I was just in New York and saw her but just waved. if I’d known I’d have dropped by to check on her. . .

She’s only serious about one, she just indulges in a bit of light petting with the others.
