Peter and Jane go to a modern art gallery.
In one room there is an old master that has been defaced with a giant penis; in another a canvas scrawled with the words ‘Why did you f**k me and leave???’ hangs on the wall; in another there is nothing at all. “There is nothing in the room because God is dead”, says mummy. “Oh dear,” says Peter. - - The IndependentPosted by gerardvanderleun at February 25, 2014 10:47 AM
Fabulous. I dare not send it to my niece the gallerina.

Carry on.
