One of my college friend's father was a pipefitter and welder in Louisiana. One fine day, over some adult beverages, he and several of his pipefitter friends decided to take a bunch of scrap iron in his shop and do some "sculpting". After a few more adult beverages, they decided to "sculpt" a human figure. So they welded together a human figure of sorts. The "sculpture" sat there in the shop for a few months. Purely on a lark and after some more adult beverages, they called a art broker in a large metropolitan city in the northeast and persuaded this art broker to at least look at the polaroids of this sculpture. The art broker did and agreed to try to sell it. Within a few weeks, a bank paid $50,000 for the "sculpture" created by drunk coonasses. I personally saw this "sculpture", talked with some of these "artistes" and some of the money helped my friend get his master's in Ag Economics.

as a former pipefitter who has made some scrape "art" ..I can assure u...there is a direct correlation as to # of adult beverages to sale price...

I'm guessing the coon asses lost an additional 50K for the lack of another case of beer!
