A painter by the name of Murphy, 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 Miltown Malbay, 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.



Not wanting to get into any marital strife, he asked her to wait while he went into the house to confer

with Mary, his wife. They talked much about the rightness and wrongness of it. It was hard to make the decision but finally his wife agreed, on one condition.



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 you in the nude all right; but I have to at least leave me socks on, so I have a place to wipe me brushes."
