Supplement to "My Experience Falling Through a Bathroom Ceiling"

Referring back to My Experience Falling Through a Bathroom Ceiling, I’ve always wished someone had taken a photo of the moment. I tried using A.I. to approximate an image of what it might have looked like to see me crashing through the ceiling of a high school restroom.

4.) The last one captures my confusion pretty well, though the toilet is crazily halfway up the wall:


Anyway, I guess you would have had to have been there.
