Judy Garland sprinkled with some Cher
Posted on September 13, 2006 - Filed Under Business |
My good friend Anne (here, here and many more) has earned a special place in my heart. She has a gift when it comes to colors and furniture arrangement. When she’s done tearing my place apart, it always comes out looking better and feeling more spacious.
This is my latest story with Anne.
Anne: Cliff, you need something original in your house.
Clifford: I’m not original?
Anne: No. All your prints are owned by everyone else. You need something original.
Clifford: I’m not going to spend thousands of dollars on an original painting just to sell a house.
Anne: You don’t have to. I have one you can borrow.
Clifford: Ummm . . .that’s different.
Anne: It’s different; it’s unique; it’s defining and it’s going on your wall.
Clifford: Do you know what this painting says to me?
Anne: Yes. It says "Gay man lives here."
Clifford: But I’m not gay.
Anne: It doesn’t matter. Who do you think is going to buy your house?
Clifford: You think so?
Anne: Duh Cliff!
A few days later, the Real Estate Agent was inspecting the house.
Clifford: Tell me, who do you think is going to buy these houses?
Real Estate Agent: A lesbian.
Apparently, I still have a lot to learn.

It never ceases to amaze me all the little things that can go wrong having a property.

The reasons for selling a business are many.

I’m sorry, but that picture is ugly. Hanging it there would give me the creeps if I were sitting at that counter.
It’s also a most unfriendly, borderline depressing, picture. Your friend didn’t have anything lighter to offer you?
I have to say that the painting is quite original… But you may need some accents… Like some chains on the wall with matching leather whips and bondage equipment…
When I looked at the picture all I could see was the awesome backsplash tile job around the 4″ column. Your tile person did a great job in the details!
She’s hot. Do you have her number? I especially like the gloves. Are they leather. The collar is a nice accessory to the outfit.
Mikki, I promised Anne I would give this a chance. It’s been hanging for a few days and . . . well there’s something weird about it.
Matt, leather whips and bondage equipment? Are we having some fantasies going on?
Ken, when sober the Tile Guy does great work. And thanks for the compliment.
Engineer X, she may be hot but she’s dead. She was a European duchess of some sort.
Grass in a can. Yeh, it’s called “Sod”.
There is a grass that you can have sprayed on your lawn. I have no idea the cost though. It’s pre-germinated but it’s not a long lasting grass. It’s purpose it to control soil erosion while the “real” grass is growing.
You’re doomed.
