There
was an art exposition, and the artist who painted the pictures for
the exposition asked the gallery owner whether anyone had been interested
in his paintings. So the owner said, “I have good news and bad
news for you. The good news is that there was a gentleman interested
in your paintings and he asked me whether your artwork would increase
in value after your death, just like that of many other artists. So
I said, yes, of course, it would. According to your potential, your
paintings will, of course, increase in value after your death. So
he bought fifteen of them altogether. That’s the good news.”
Then the artist asked, “What about the bad news?” And
the gallery owner replied, “The guy who bought the paintings
is your doctor.”
