#7 Good news – Bad news
An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any real interest in his paintings which had been on display for the previous few weeks.
‘I have good news and bad news,’ the owner replied. ‘The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all 17 of your paintings.’
‘That’s wonderful, absolutely marvellous,’ the artist exclaimed. ‘What’s the bad news?’
‘The buyer was your doctor.’
