An elderly woman decided to sit down and have a formal oil portrait painted of herself.
As the artist set up his easel, she gave him very specific instructions: “I want you to paint me wearing a massive 10-carat diamond ring, a stunning emerald necklace, heavy gold bracelets, an oversized ruby brooch, and a diamond-encrusted Rolex watch.”
The artist blinked in confusion, looked at her completely bare neck and wrists, and replied, “But ma’am, you aren’t actually wearing any of those luxury items.”
“I am well aware of that,” she smiled wickedly.
“Then why on earth do you want me to paint them on you?” the artist asked.
The woman leaned in and whispered, “Because I know for a fact that if I die before my husband, the old fool will remarry within a month. I want his new, young wife to spend the rest of her miserable life going absolutely insane trying to find where I hid the jewelry!”
