An artist had been working on a nude portrait for a long time. Every day,
he was up early and worked late - bringing perfection with every stroke of
his paint brush. As each day passed, he gained a better understanding of
the female body and was able to really make his paintings shine.

After a month, the artist had become very weary from this non-stop effort
and decided to take it easy for the day.  Since Karen, his model, had
already shown up, he suggested they merely have a glass of wine and talk -
since normally he preferred to do his painting in silence. 

They talked for a few hours, getting to know each other better. Then as
they were sipping their claret, the artist heard a car arriving outside. 
He jumped up and said,

"OH NO It's my wife!  Quick, take off your clothes!"
