Antique Needed More Than A Quick Fix
A museum curator in China has been dismissed after gluing a broken antique back together instead of reporting the damage. The antique, a wooden turtle dove more than 2,000 years old and dating from China's Han Dynasty, had its beak broken when it was transported by museum staff to an antique storage cabinet a year ago.
FOOTNOTE: Lead on, Mac dove.

Sounds like it was a "cheep" fix. At least he didn't put its nose to the grindstone!

Aha! Someone notice a "quack" in the old duck. Pappy
Just loving the clever comments everyone has.

I guess the poor curator had a problem with "crack"
Hmm...someone must have wished him luck along the line, you think? Poor Dove
