Irish Painter
To be sure...... to be sure.....we just love the Irish!!A painter by the name of Paddy Mc Manus, while not a brilliant scholar, was a gifted portrait artist. Over a short number of years, his fame grew and soon people from all over Ireland were coming to the town of Doolin in County Clare, to get him to paint their likenesses.
One day, a beautiful young English woman arrived at his house in a stretch limo and asked if he would paint her in the nude.
This being the first time anyone had made such a request he was a bit perturbed, particularly when the woman told him that money was no object; in fact, and she was willing to pay up to 10,000 Sterling pounds.
Not wanting to get into any marital strife, he asked her to wait while he went into the house to confer with Elsa, his wife.
In a few minutes he returned. "T'would be me pleasure to paint yer portrait, missus," he said "The wife says it's okay.I'll paint ya in da nude alright, but I have to at least leave me socks on so I have a place to wipe me brushes."
