An Artist
- An artist asked the gallery owner
if there had been any interest in
his paintings on display at that time.
"I have good news and bad news,"
the owner replied. "The good news
is that a gentleman enquired 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?"
An old soldier often told
his garden about his past war exploits.
"Once I met with a dozen enemy
sol-diers and took them prisoners
singlehand-ed."
"It was half a dozen enemy soldiers
when you told me the story last year.

this time?"
"You silly lad.You were younger last
year,and I was afraid to frighten you
