The Art Collectors Wife
A New York attorney representing a wealthy art collector
called and asked to speak to his client. “Saul, I have
some good news and I have some bad news.” The art
collector replied, “You know, I’ve had an awful day,
Jack, so let’s hear the good news first.” The lawyer
said, “Well, I met with your wife today, and she informed
me that she has invested only $5,000 in two very nice
pictures that she thinks will bring somewhere between $15
and $20 million … and I think she could be right.” Saul
replied enthusiastically, “Holy cow! Well done! My wife is
a brilliant business woman, isn’t she? You’ve just made
my day. Now, I know I can handle the bad news. What is
it?” The lawyer replied, “The pictures are of you and
your secretary.
