“The good news is that a man dropped by the studio today and put in an offer to buy every single piece.

I told him they would double, possibly triple, in value. So he bought them all.”

“Whoa!” exclaims the artist. “That’s fantastic. What could be the bad news?”

“The guy is your doctor,” the owner says.
