Painter An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any
interest in his paintings currently on display. "I've got 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 15 of your
paintings." "That's wonderful!" the artist exclaimed, "What's the bad
news?" With concern, the gallery owner replied, "The guy was
your doctor."
