Today's random funny story

[Maxie Zeus]

OK, the news is awfully depressing these days. As my little contribution to making things lighter, check out what happens when an art gallery janitor mistakes an expensive art work for garbage. . .

LoL. I dont blame the janitor. I wouldve thrown the "art" away if I was him. I'm glad they didnt fire him. The story has now given me the motivation to gather all my trash and sell it to the Philly Art Museum. Thanks Maxie! If I get rich I'll split the profit with you. ;)

--if that Serrano guy could make thousands by selling a photo of a crucifix in a jar of his own whizz, it proves that the public'll embrace anything as art. If you'll pardon me a moment...[seizes empty peanut jar and, snickering, steps out back door momentarily]

I just realized my dad's basement and garage must be masterpieces worth millions. Ka-ching! $$$

Yeesh, if the artist worked on something that looked exactly like a heap of trash, what would he expect the janitor (or any layperson) to do? :rolleyes:

Reminds me of the episode of Daria where Jane got mad at what's-his-name for eating all the gummi bears she was going to melt down for her art project...

This kinda reminds me of when the janitor at our school threw out a pile of our World History projects because he thought they were trash...it was very sad...:( ...but we all ended up getting 100's because our teacher never gotta a chance to work with them. :D

Calvin and Hobbes dealt with this:

(Hobbes comes in to see Calvin working on a painting)

Calvin: You know how people look at art and say 'my 6-year old can do that'? Well, I'm going to do it!

HOBBES: Really?

Calvin: Yep! I'll make millions!

Hobbes: You may want to scratch out the copyright date.

Calvin: Ooh! Glad you caught that!
...

Okay, it wasn't word for word, but you get what I mean. Still, at least everyone realized it was an accident and took it in good humor.

What's left to say, besides....

D'OH!!
