An elderly woman decided to have her portrait painted. She told the artist "Paint me with diamond earrings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets, a ruby broach, and a gold Rolex." "But you are not wearing any of those things" replied the artist.

"I know," she said. "It's in case I die before my husband. I'm sure he will remarry right away so I want his new wife to go crazy looking for the jewelries."
