[liff] You See, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

2308.Some people take Monday to unnecessary extremes:

On Friday afternoon a woman taking an adult education class at the Metropolitan Museum of Art accidentally lost her balance and fell into “The Actor,” right, a rare Rose Period Picasso, tearing the canvas about six inches along its lower right-hand corner.

Good news – the damage is repairable. It's not like she stumbled through the middle of the painting. Bad news – she still goes down in history as That Woman Who Tripped And Holed A Picasso™.

At least I get through my Mondays without damaging world treasures. Countin' my blessin's.
