La Disputa

I walked into the Bargello on some tourist business, when I noticed Donatello’s David – splayed out like Aunt Jemima’s pancakes. Angered at seeing the symbol of Florence in horizontal position, I took out my camera and took one picture – when I noticed a woman hurrying towards me.

“You can’t take pictures of the art!! You’ll ruin it!”

I was more than a little put off. I answered indignantly, “What, you think my no-flash picture of this situation you got going here will ruin David more than the LASERS you have pointed at him?”

And thusly, I was escorted out of the Bargello.
