Masterpiece

"Masterpiece"*

*Some time ago, there was this artist who worked from a
studio in his home. He specialized in nudes and had been
working on what he thought would be a masterpiece for
several months now.

As usual, his model reported and after exchanging the
usual greetings and small talk, she began to undress
for the day's work.

He told her not to bother, that he felt pretty bad with a
cold he had been fighting. He added that he would pay
her for the day but that she could just go home; he just
wanted some hot tea and then, off to bed.

The model said "Oh, please, let me fix it for you. It's the
least I can do."

He agreed and told her to fix herself a cup too. They
were sitting in the living room just exchanging small talk
and enjoying their tea when he heard the front door
open and close, then some familiar footsteps.

"Oh my gosh!" he whispered loudly, "It's my wife! Quick!
Take all your clothes off!"
