A New York attorney representing a wealthy art collector called his client
He says,
“John, I have some good news and some bad news.”
The art collector replied, “I’ve had an awful day; let’s hear the good news first.”
The attorney said, “Well, I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she invested $5,000 in two pictures that she thinks will bring a minimum of $15-20 million. I think she could be right.”
John replied enthusiastically, “Well done! My wife is a brilliant businesswoman! You’ve just made my day. Now that I know that I can handle the bad news, you mind telling me what it is?”
The attorney replied, “The pictures are of you and your secretary.”
