A New York attorney representing a wealthy art
collector called his client and said to him, “Saul,
I have some good news and I have 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.”
Saul replied enthusiastically, “Well done!
My wife is a brilliant businesswoman! You’ve just
made my day. Now I know I can handle the
bad news. What is it?”
The attorney replied, “The pictures are of you with your secretary.”
