D'oh

"Oh shit, look what I've done." (via Ace)

I guess if you're rich enough to own a painting worth $139 million, you're rich enough to put your elbow through it and still get along okay. Still, what a shame about the integrity of the painting. I'm sure no one feels worse than Wynn about that. And still, it brought this classic scene to mind:

Clouseau smashes a grand piano with an iron ball glued to his hand.

Mrs. Leverlilly: You've ruined that piano!

Clouseau: What is the price of one piano compared to the terrible crime that's been committed here?

Mrs. Leverlilly: But that's a priceless Steinway!

Clouseau: Not anymore!
