That is what Steve Wynn said directly after he said "Oh shit! Look what Ive done"" directly after he holed a 139 million dollar Picasso with his elbow.

he was standing in front of the painting at this point, facing us. He raised his hand to show us something about the painting -- and at that moment, his elbow crashed backwards right through the canvas.

There was a terrible noise.

Wynn stepped away from the painting, and there, smack in the middle of Marie-Therese Walter's plump and allegedly-erotic forearm, was a black hole the size of a silver dollar - or, to be more exactly, the size of the tip of Steve Wynn's elbow -- with two three-inch long rips coming off it in either direction. Steve Wynn has retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that damages peripheral vision, but he could see quite clearly what had happened.

"Oh shit," he said. "Look what I've done."

The rest of us were speechless.

"Thank God it was me," he said.



What is the most expensive thing you ruined with a bonehead move?

i tore a great rent in the back door of my mum's car once trying to squeeze between a bus and a granite post. the stupidest thing was i kept going even though i could hear it scraping thinking "oh, it'll just be a scratch i can paint over" when in fact i had to replace the door at a cost of over £1000 which is probably more than the car is even worth now. doh!

My old man's reflecting telescope. I closed the garage door, not realizing that one tiny bit had somehow become entwined in a bit of rope attached to the door.

I know it's got nothing to do with this post or anything in particular but I'm never going to have a reason to tell this to someone and I have to tell someone. I can't keep it to myself, you see..

I've just plaited the hairs around my right nipple.

I can't do the same with the left nipple because it's not as hairy.

rolfmao! you win the forum, heehee. i made a single dread with my nipple hair once cuz i was bored

Well, when I was in middle school I was chipping with a golf ball in my back yard and chipped one over my back fence. No big deal. So I went out the back gate and thought I'd just chip it right back over the fence and into my yard again. It was a nice plan until it went a little farther than I planned and right through the sliding glass doors of our back porch. It didn't go well for me.

most expensive he asked, not funniest thing you've broken.

a large machine i was cleanning but didnt dry. is worth a few grand, but i had no idea what it did.

I'm told I did my business on an expensive Persian rug when I was a baby. We still have the rug.

I made a 2' hole in a carpet by means of muriatic acid.
