Ghost 2: What happened?
Ghost 1: My wife cheated on me.
I came back home and saw a man’s pair of shoes. I then rushed to the bedroom and met my wife there. She was naked. I knew there was a man in the house because my neighbor told me so. And I know the man was still in the house because my wife was undressed and scared. So I started running and searching the whole house. I dashed to the kid’s room, the kitchen, toilet, bathroom, wardrobe, dining, I couldn’t find him anywhere but I was very tired after the run so, I suffered a heart attack!
Ghost 2: IDIOT!!!! If you would have checked the refrigerator we’d both be alive by now!!!

“There must be an element that piques academicians to want to study art. There must also be another element that piques interest in art collecting. That element, in contrary to what many thought was two prong, stems from just one single prong. And that is the monetary worth attached to art. That monetary worth is not spurred only by tradespeople and collectors.
From the tradespeople and collectors point of view , if we thrash monetary worth because some considers it taboo to even mention it, then all that is left in art appreciation from the very beginning is the inert beauty attached to them. Not ugliness. For who would want to commission, albeit collect an ugly picture?
Thus, it is this encounter and fascination with pretty pictures and the grasp it has on collectors who are willing to pay top dollars, that spurs academicians to want to study and dissect them, thence publish their findings. Yet, there is another aspect which scholars decide if a pretty picture is art worthy. And that is ‘a pretty picture must also be thought provoking’ as well. The narrative side. And a thought provoking picture is not necessarily pretty to look at. Hence academicians does have a role to play in how ugliness expounded by some artist seeps into the art domain as important which was once only about beauty.
Thus, with all these accusations that collectors were the reason why commercialism thrive in art, one has to look further to the cause and include scholarly pursuits as yet another guilty element that assist in the monetary worth of artworks by reason based on their findings.
It is very clear that when one noted scholar or authenticator declares a work dubious, thence it’s collectibility and worth will drop rapidly, despite it being pretty, or thought provoking. And if another ugly work is endorsed by ten scholars as sufficiently good material, its value will skyrocket, with or without that taboo element some called it trade.”
A young doctor moved out to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring.
The older doctor suggested that the young one accompany him on his rounds, so the community could become used to the new doctor.
At the first house a woman complains, “I’ve been a little sick on my stomach.”
The older doctor says, “Well, you’ve probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Cut back on the amount you’ve been eating and see if that does the trick?”
As they left, the younger man said, “You didn’t even examine that woman? How’d you come to the diagnosis so quickly?”
“I didn’t have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in the trash. That was what was probably making her sick.”
The younger doctor said, “Pretty clever. If you don’t mind, I think I’ll try that at the next house.”
Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with a younger woman. She said that she just didn’t have the energy she once did and said, “I’m feeling terribly run down lately.”
“You’ve probably been doing too much for the church,” the younger doctor told her. “Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps.”
As the left, the elder doctor said, “I know that woman well. Your diagnosis is most certainly correct, she’s very active in the church, but how did you arrive at it?”
“I did what you did at the last house. I dropped my stethoscope and, when I bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the priest under the bed.
