GULL

Seen as one of his more conventional 
works Th(e) stapled a one legged 
seagull to a post.

“I think I made my point,” 
Th(e) was quoted as saying. 

But tragedy soon followed when it was 
discovered that a Swedish poultry farmer 
named Wilbur Holst  had created a similar 
work entitled Fowl Crucifixion over ten 
years earlier.

It was also discovered that Th(e) had glued, 
not stapled, the seagull to the post.

Critics decried this as an example that Th(e) 
did not have the balls to be a real artist.

But Th(e) insisted, “I have balls. 
Lots of balls.”
