The Painter

It is always proper and safer to check with your wife when doing anything that is different from the usual.  

A painter by the name of Skipper Drover, while not a brilliant scholar, was a gifted portrait artist. Over a number of years, his fame grew and soon people from all over the country were coming to him in Long Harbour for his paintings.

One day, a very attractive young woman pulled up to his house in a stretch limo and asked Skipper if he would paint her in the nude. This was the first time anyone had made this request and it had Skipper a bit perturbed.


The beautiful lady told him that money was no object. In fact, she was willing to pay him up to $5,000 cash.

Not wanting to get into trouble with his wife, Skipper asked the lady to wait while he went in the house and conferred with Rose, his missus.

In a few minutes he returned and said to the lady, "T'would be me pleasure to paint yer portrait, missus. The wife says it's okay.

I'll paint ya in da nude, but I have ta leave me socks on so I have a place to wipe me brushes".
