I don't think there was a lot of planning on that. Dave had been doing bits with nearby businesses, including Joe's Pizza, the Hello Deli, and K&L's Rock America, which sold touristy stuff before high rents forced them to close. Dave seemed to be fond of two oddly formal K&L employees from Bangladesh, Sirajul Islam and Mujibur Rahman. They picked out the statue. That's how I remember it, anyway. Side note: I gave my grad assistant a couple of days off to see Dave and he brought back bribes--i mean, gifts, including a business card from K&L's autographed by Sirajul and Mujibur, which I still have.
