The Masterpiece

While vacationing in Europe, Mary bought a $25 million masterpiece.

Her friend looked at the painting and told Mary, "you know you can't bring that back to the US. Trump will slap a 200-percent tariff on it. It's a nice painting, but it's not worth $75 million."

Mary knew of a conservator who can remove paintings from atop other paintings, and had a portrait of Donald Trump applied over the masterpiece. So concealed, she made her way to the airport with her treasure.

A week after returning, she got a frantic e-mail from the conservator: "I removed the painting of Trump and the $25 million masterpiece. I'm back to a painting of Trump. When should I stop?"
