Funny and sad at the same time.
People. Jesus. (shakes head) (and then laughs again)
UPDATE: Still laughing. That "Last Supper" mock-up went by pretty fast in the video. Here it is:
Further UPDATE: Still laughing. Grandma's rendition is leaning more toward "The Scream" as I look at it. The mouth is becoming extremely distorted, and I think it may be because of something he's just seen off to his left where he's looking. Perhaps this is Jesus in the Garden when he's surprised by the appearance of the soldiers who've come for him. The original is obviously looking up to heaven (probably thinking the same thing of God's bungling of the human design that we are thinking of Grandma's "restoration" of the painting).
Further UPDATE: Not laughing. The written report of this says the church had actually just collected a donation to have the painting restored professionally. Grandma says the priest gave her permission (or asked her to do it - the reports differ a bit), so I'm wondering if maybe Grandma and the priest decided there was a better use for the money. Okay, laughing again. The plot to save the money for some other use (or pocket) - there's a silly 1930s comedy movie in that.
