I went to this Art Gallery . . .

I went to this art gallery.

And I absolutely fell in love with one of the pictures.

The art dealer wanted to sell it to me for the normal price.

Takes a certain type of audience to get this, IMO. And even so, it took me long enough of a delay time that I worry that it could negatively affect a delivery in this sense.

Thank you for your candor, Redleader.

I think you're an extremely insightful dude with a very good sense of humor.

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated.

I don't get this joke at all. Please explain.

^ ditto.

No sweat, guys - you didn't get the joke because the punchline contained a word which was deemed too offensive, and thus, the punchline was deleted from my original post.

Here's a cleaned up version of the joke:

"I went to an art gallery the other day.

And as soon as I got there,

I saw this picture that I loved SO much,

That I decided that I absolutely HAD to have it.

The dealer wanted to sell it to me for the regular price,

But I bargained him down to 950 words."

^^^^^^^

Just because YOU can't figure it out doesn't mean no one can.

I thought it was kinda funny...it certainly take a second.

 

[hoopyfrood]

lol, yeah, took me a second. Once I re-read it, I got it.

 

[felix]

yeah i saw it before it got edited.

a picture speaks a thousand words?

i still don't get what's funny. perhaps i'm too stupid to understand.

 

[hoopyfrood]

"a picture is worth a thousand words" is the expression I think. I didn't see it before it got edited though. :/

 

[felix]

ah.

"worth".

i get it now.

still isn't funny. :D

Yea I don't get it I give you that, but I posted that because I saw thier posts were there before the thread was edited.

Ya. It's very cleaver, I'll give you that. But I just think it's too slow in comprehension for it to work within a routine.

HOWEVER, if you can work the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" into your routine right before the actual delivery, I think it could work.

:rant about other common, cheesy phrases for a bit:

- ending with "A picture is worth a thought words. What does that really mean? People say it all the time, but why 1000 words?

Well, I went to an art gallery the other day, and gained a bit of an understanding....

And as soon as I got there,

I saw this picture that I loved SO much,

That I decided that I absolutely HAD to have it.

The dealer wanted to sell it to me for the regular price,

But I bargained him down to 950 words."

That's how I'd do it.
