Tilting the head back lifted the nose above the crack. Problem thus solved.

Okay, you’re actually pretty close, so I’ll just spill it. You and Phlosphr were the only ones interested anyway…
The ranger noted that Thomas Jefferson was looking upward over George Washington, and said that a stone cracked right at Jefferson’s nose while he was being formed. Then added, “We had to tilt his head back to get the crack out of his nose.”
It struck me as a pretty interesting thing to say, especially lifted from context. And I thought it would make a cool sort of un-Googlable riddle.

Un-Googlable??? Hell yes! Gotta love it Lib. Thanks for the high jinx
It was so ungooglable I called the ranger station at mount rushmore and asked if Jefferson had crack up his nose… Probably shouldn’t have done that with the benefit of hind sight!*
*Just kidding LOL!

See, I keep parsing that as “tilting the already-carved head back”, like somehow they repositioned the very rock. :smack: I guess I understand what you mean; the design was titled. As I said, slow on the uptake!

Jeez, thats a relief. I thought they were trying to add a carving of Dubya’s head to Mt Rushmore & were trying to drill all the crack-cocaine out of it’s nose…
I’m not sure Bush’s head would fit on Rushmore.
The contents of his head is already there.
LOL! Lordy, that’s true.
