The Artist and the Fisherman

The man thought about it for a minute and asked, "How much am I to get?" Well, I'll pay you two pounds", answered the artist and added, as the man still hesitated, "It's an easy way to earn two pounds, you see". "Oh! I know that", said the man, "but how am I to get the paint off afterwards, I wonder?"

Writer
A lady once wrote a long story and sent it to a famous editor. After a few weeks the story was returned to her. She got angry and wrote to the editor. "Dear Sir! Yesterday you sent me back a story of mine. How do you know that the story isn't good? Either you have misunderstood the story or you must have failed to read it all, as I have pasted together pages 18, 19 and 20. When it came back the pages were pasted".
The editor wrote back: "Dear Madam! At breakfast when I open an egg, I don't have to eat all the egg in order to discover that it is bad".
