Flowers "How many flowers fit in your bathtub", the woman asked her friend. "What?" her friend, Jane responded. "Flowers," the woman, Ann, persisted, "how many will fit in your bathtub?" "Yeah that's what I thought you said...." "Well?" "Umm...Why do you want to know that?" "I'm an artist remember? I want to paint a bathtub filled with flowers, and I need to know how many to buy." "Can't you use *your* bathtub?" "Mine's too small, yours is much better. Besides, I need a change of venue...So...How many flowers will fit in your bathtub?" "Well this may sound a bit silly, but I've never filled my tub with flowers, just water." "Oh I hadn't thought about that..." "Yeah well...These things happen..." "True, do you think 100 will be enough?" "Uh..Sure, and if it's not, you can always buy more, there's just one problem here..." "What's that?" "Well I *use* my tub, to you know, bathe." "Yeah..." "Well how can I bathe if the tub is full of flowers?" "You can use my tub, I don't mind." "You live across town." "Well yeah, but it's only 2 miles." "I don't know..." "I'll give you 15% of the profits..." "Hmm..." "Ok 20%" "Well..." "Ok 25% and that's my final offer." "Ok, 25% plus use of your tub." "Deal." The two women shook hands. "What kind of flowers are you going to buy?" "What?" said the artist. "Flowers," said Jane "What kind are you going to buy?" "Oh I don't know whatever they have." "Oh" Silence... "The stores close at 5 you know." "Yeah, it's only 4:30" "You know," said the artist "Maybe this isn't such a good idea." "What?" "Well who ever heard of putting flowers in a bathtub?" "Well..." "See what I mean?" "Yeah, but I like the idea." "You do?" "Yeah, it's different, unique, creative..." "Well yeah, but..." "No buts, you're doing it." "Yeah, I guess you're right." "Of course I'm right." "Yeah, so...How many flowers will fit in your bathtub?" -Written sometime before November 15th, 1998.
