A lady in a park in Paris ran into Pablo PIcasso. She said, "Mr. Picasso, would you kindly do a sketch of me right here and now?" Mr. Picasso turned to her and said, "Why yes. I would be more than honored to do so." He starts to work furiously over a new sketch and turns it over to her to inspect.

She asks, "How much do I owe you for your work?" Picasso thinks for a minute and says, "Madame, $5000 francs." She says, "Mr. PIcasso, but it only took you 3 minutes to do that drawing."

Picasso responds, "Au contraire, Madame, it took me a lifetime."
