HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE AS THIN AS THIS? MY DEAR FRIEND, YOU SHOULD NEVER COME TO THE SWIMMING POOL WITHOUT WEARING LONG COTTON PANTS. - AND YOU, MY FRIEND, DON'T EVER SHOW YOURSELF TO THE WORLD IN THIS COSTUME WITHOUT HAVING UPHOLSTERED YOURSELF BEFORE.... I CAN GIVE YOU THE ADDRESS OF MY UPHOLSTERER.
Unknown Artist and Honoré Daumier
