IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BUY - BUY WHAT YOU LIKE.
YOUR HDTV WILL NOT APPRECIATE - YOUR ART COLLECTION WILL.
LIKE FRESH CUT FLOWERS - ORIGINAL ARTWORK IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL.
IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A PAINTING
- TELL A FRIEND THEY OWE YOU A GIFT.
IF THE PAINTING DOES NOT MATCH THE SOFA
- TOSS THE SOFA.
ARTWORK YOU GIVE YOUR PARENTS
- COMES BACK TO YOU IN THE WILL.
WHAT HAPPENS ON THE INTERNET STAYS ON THE INTERNET
- THERE IN LIES THE PROBLEM.
ASSUME THAT WHAT YOU TAKE OUT ON YOUR WAITER
- YOUR WAITER WILL TAKE OUT ON YOUR MEATLOAF.
RENT ONLY LASTS FOR A MONTH
- A PAINTING IS FOREVER.
WHY SHOULD MUSEUMS HAVE ALL THE GOOD ART…
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OWNING A NUDE PAINTING
- UNLESS IT IS OF YOUR MOTHER.
