I believe the Romans developed crucifixion as a form of punishment mainly because painting ceilings was considered to be too inhumane.
If there is a Hell, then it consists of an infinitely wide ceiling. When you arrive, you are issued with a rickety ladder and a scraper. After a day or so, you’ll be begging to be thrown in the lake of fire.
To do:
1. Cultivate Worst Enemy
2. Convince new Worst Enemy to paint my ceiling next time
the other side of the mountain 
I first read that as ‘have you painted your ceiling cat yet’. Was sorely disappointed in lack of pussy jokes. I blame AWC posting at the same time as you.

Pussy jokes never disappoint.
Like Rome, Ceiling Cat wasn’t built in a day, either.

You’re lucky they invented rollers. Poor old Michelangelo had to use tiny brushes.
You are using a roller…aren’t you?

Yes, I’m using a holy roller from the local Baptist church. Man, did he put up a fuss until I knocked him out with a roofie.

Oh no, the best is when for whatever reason you are halfway through a ceiling paint job and realize that your edging doesn’t match what you’ve rolled on. Or if you have to just ‘touch up’ a spot and can’t match it because you can’t find any of the original paint. Good times.
