Friday Smiles 325: Go Fish

Today I'm joining Halle at Halle's Hobbies, who is our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her theme Words to live by.  I'm also joining Annie (at A Stitch in Time) and the ladies at Friday Smiles.  There will be no museum visit today, because I want to share a journal page I think you will find humor in.  But first, here are a few funnies I found in my office when I cleaned it last year.

A photographer was hired to take pictures at a lawyers' convention. When he lined up his subjects, he got them to look their best by shouting, "OK, everyone say, Fees!"


A gang of robbers broke into a lawyer's club by mistake. The old legal lions gave them a fight for their life and their money.

The gang was very happy to escape. "It ain't so bad," one crook noted. "We got $25 between us."

The boss screamed: "I warned you to stay clear of lawyers.  We had $100 when we broke in!"
 
Now for my art inspired "funny" today.

I love this quote by Albert Einstein.  

Can you believe I actually stamped that fish directly on the substrate?  I was either quite brave or very foolish.

Here is the quote by Albert Einstein:

Everyone is a genius. But, if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.

For this entry, I had the quote first, then found the incredible trees in an old, old calendar.  Next, I stamped the fish (a red rubber wood mounted fish from River City Rubber, a rubber stamp company no longer in business) and was thrilled that I had stamped it reasonably well.  Finally, I colored the quote using water soluble crayons that I thought would mimic the colors of the leaves.

Thanks for visiting Bleubeard and me today.  I hope you will join me at Art Journal Journey with your own art inspired by Words to live by.  And please don't forget to start your weekend off right by visiting Annie for a few Friday Smiles.  We would love to have you join, also.
