The Millionaire’s Wife Buys Art Treasures
A Californian multi-millionaire receives a phone call from his lawyer.
“You’d better get down to my office real quick,” began the hot-shot lawyer with some urgency in his voice, “there’s something important that I need to discuss with you!”
“What’s up Sam?” asked the millionaire.
“I’d rather not talk about it on the phone – let’s just say it’s about art, something your wife bought recently,” said the lawyer mysteriously.
Half an hour later the millionaire was led into the lawyer’s office.
“Now tell me what this is all about Sam,” insisted the millionaire.
“Sure, well I’ve been racking my brains trying to think of how to tell you. Now the good news is that your wife recently paid $500 a piece for two artworks that she reckons are worth at least $3,000,000 – possibly more,” the lawyer paused.
“Sounds like a pretty shrewd move on Ruthie’s part but why did I have to come down here? Why couldn’t she tell me the good news herself? And what’s the bad news?” the millionaire was baffled.
“Well I’m coming to that. You see, the pictures are both shots of you making love to your secretary…”
Good joke – although it was no joke for the millionaire.
