"Researched" by Marlene Minker
In 1889, Auguste Rodin crafted his famous sculpture, "The Kiss." It was originally part of a larger work named "The Gates of Hell." Really? Does that tell you anything?
Forward time to Paris, 1913. Jacques Jeffirs, the notorious counterfeiter, copied the famous work of art and sold it to his American cousin, Gullible Jeffirs, for $50 and the rights to the 'ole Jeffirs' whiskey still in Plymouth, Indiana. Gullible was devastated when his sister, Smartene, told him that the piece was a fake. To cheer him up, Smartene painted the sculpture to resemble Gullible and his wife, Easy Sue. It was an immediate hit! Renamed "The Love Slaves," it has been customized with everything from tattoos, piercings, missing digits, and unique hairstyles, then passed from one set of happy newlyweds to the next for generations.
