Art Tourist

Rachel Jones, a rich tourist, went to Paris to see the art galleries. She hired the services of a guide to show her around the Orsay Museum. "Oh!" said Rachel, looking at a painting. "That's a Monet isn't it?" "No Madame, it's a Manet," replied the guide. "And that one, it's a Pissaro!" "Er... no... I'm sorry, Madame, that's a Monet." "Oh, I see. Now that one that's a Picasso." ".... No, Madame, that's a mirror."
