8 Famous Paintings I Accidentally Dropped Down The Stairs<\/insert><\/delete>o Mona Lisa<\/delete><\/insert><\/p>\n

\u00a7<\/delete>Mona Lisa<\/insert> <\/insert><\/p>\n

The Mona Lisa<\/i> is widely considered the finest painting in all creation, so I really fucked up when I dropped it down 3 flights of stairs. Nobody knows why the lady is smiling, and now <\/insert>nobody will ever <\/insert>know because there is a large hole where her face used to be.<\/insert><\/p>\n

o<\/delete> American Gothic<\/insert><\/p>\n

\u00a7<\/delete> The couple in this staple of American art is infamous for their stern expressions, which mirror the expressions on <\/insert>my parents‘ faces<\/insert> held<\/delete> when I dropped American Gothic<\/em> down a massive spiral staircase.<\/insert><\/p>\n

o<\/delete> The Scream<\/insert><\/p>\n

\u00a7<\/delete> The horrified expression of the figure in The Scream<\/em> truly comes to life while it falls haphazardly down an enormous flight of stairs. I dropped it by accident, but my new lease on the art made its fall worthwhile.<\/insert><\/p>\n

o<\/delete> The Weeping Woman<\/insert><\/p>\n

\u00a7<\/delete> All the discordant parts of Picasso\u2019s The Weeping <\/em>Woman<\/i> came back together after I fumbled and dropped it down the foyer staircase. It turns out that The Weeping Woman <\/em>is actually a portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt!<\/insert><\/p>\n

o<\/delete> Saturn Devouring His Son<\/insert><\/p>\n

\u00a7<\/delete> I have a confession. I dropped this painting down my colossal six<\/insert>6<\/delete>-flight staircase on purpose. It is a nasty, gruesome portrait and I could not allow my beautiful cousin Terry to see it, so I threw it down the nearest flight of stairs in a panic.<\/insert><\/p>\n

o<\/delete> The Sleeping Gypsy<\/insert><\/p>\n

\u00a7<\/delete> Rumor has it that The Sleeping Gypsy <\/em>has an extremely slippery frame. I can confirm this because the darned painting fell out of my hands and down a 100-foot winding<\/insert>er<\/delete> staircase just last Tuesday.<\/insert><\/p>\n

o<\/delete> Washington Crossing The Delaware<\/insert><\/p>\n

\u00a7<\/delete> George Washington crossed the Delaware River under horrible, icy conditions in order to carry out a dangerous surprise attack during the Revolutionary War. Washington Crossing the Delaware <\/em>crossed my titanic–<\/insert> <\/delete>bifurcated staircase under similar conditions,<\/delete> and unfortunately did not survive.<\/insert><\/p>\n

o<\/delete> The Last Supper<\/insert><\/p>\n

\u00a7<\/delete> Da Vinci\u2019s The Last Supper <\/em>is 15 feet by 29 feet,<\/delete> and painted directly on a wall. Therefore it must be through God\u2019s help that I managed to drop the entire painting down the 7th scale tripoint staircase in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Please don\u2019t tell Jesus!<\/insert><\/p>\n
