Good News, Bad News

An artist walked into the gallery where his work was being displayed. “Has anyone come in to see my paintings?” he asked the gallery owner.

“I have good new and bad news,” said the owner. “The good news is that a lady inquired about your work and wondered if your paintings would appreciate in value after your death. I told her they certainly would. She bought all 15 of your paintings.”

“That’s wonderful,” the artist exclaimed. “What’s the bad news?”

“The lady was your doctor.”
