<p>[QUOTE="Armando0831, post: 28193, member: 305"]I know my wife wouldn't be all that intrigued about going to an art museum. I was so close from bidding on a painting on EBay for a painting done in WWI of a Russian General standing next to his dead horse in the snow. My wife couldn't understand why someone would pay that much for a painting. I could tell her until I was blue in the face but she still wouldn't understand. So, I didn't place a bid, didn't want to start an argument, even though she said it was alright to do so. I read between the lines and knew what she was "really" meaning. In the morning, the auction was over. It had jumped from $100 to the final price of $250+. I told her the final price and said, "See, I'm not the only one that knows what good art is." She couldn't understand why it could get so high without a signature. That's a whole different story and not enough time to explain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
