Art Week: Funny Friday

**********

An artist had been working on a nude portrait for a long time. Every day, he was up early and worked late - bringing perfection with every stroke of his paint brush. As each day passed, he gained a better understanding of the female body and was able to really make his paintings shine.

After a month, the artist had become very weary from this non-stop effort and decided to take it easy for the day. Since his model had already shown up, he suggested they merely have a glass of wine and talk - since normally he preferred to do his painting in silence.

They talked for a few hours, getting to know each other better. Then as they were sipping their claret, the artist heard a car arriving outside. He jumped up and said, "Oh no! It's my wife! Quick, take off your clothes!"

Quickies. . . 

My mate hung himself in a modern art gallery.

It was three weeks before anyone noticed.

How many visitors to an art gallery does it take to change a light bulb?

Two. One to do it and one to say "Huh! My four-year old could've done that!" 

I visited the Louvre art gallery in France last week.

I asked if it was okay to take a picture and they said it was.

I must say, the Mona Lisa looks pretty damn good on my living room wall.

At the Last Supper, how come no one sat at the other side of the table?

I've developed a foolproof technique any of you can use to sculpt a model of an elephant.

1. Get a huge block of marble.

2. Chip away anything that doesn't look like an elephant.

Corn Corner:

Recently a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing from the Louvre. However, after escaping with the goods, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of fuel. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied: “I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.”
