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 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?"

"The guy was your doctor."
