Big Ears


Overheard in the aisles at the Auckland Art Fair.

“What are you doing?”
“I’m transfixed.”

“I can’t believe they’ve opened the Art Fair on the first day of the duck shooting season.”

“He’s young.”
“How young?”
“Cheap young.”

“It looks like a stock show.”
“Is that bad?”

“She says it’s too big but he said that’s the way he likes them.”

“It was all fine until we had to deal with the artist.”

“They say they’re selling everything.”
“Everything?”
“Well everything they don’t like.”
