"Really? What belt are you?"
"Blue!"

Bob's joke is better, but mine was drunker.

Monsieur le Singe and I were just at the Klein exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, at which you are NOT ALLOWED to take photos, even without a flash. The problem I had with it was that although a lot of Klein's ideas were interesting, and even revolutionary, I just didn't find the execution that exciting. Also, I am suspicious of anyone who uses a dreadful shade of cerise as one of their three primary painting colours, and who talks about Judo as one of the four main creeds by which he lives. Possibly it is simply the case that Klein and his pals are too often mimicked for them to have the same impact they once had.

We also saw the Robert Rauschenberg exhibition. He makes me laugh.
