DH and I work for the same company, and we get to eat lunch together most days. Now, our company has a huge collection of modern art that is scattered about all of the complexes. It's kind of cool, the first thing I see when I go to work is an Andy Warhol painting of Chairmen Mao. http://www.artic.edu/artaccess/AA_Mo...es/MOD_9.shtml

Well, on our way to eat there is a jar of rocks. (Remember the reference to MODERN art) Every time we walk past it DH laughs. So finally I asked what he was thinking. He said that all he has wanted to do when he saw was to lift it over his head and shatter it.

It's my fault I asked.

The original is out in front of our CEO's office. Is that a bad thing?

Well, he also has a 2 million dollar paper fish decorating the stair way as well.

To be honest, I think they aquired it when it was worth much less. The people who work in our corporate art office have eyes for that kind of thing.
