Finding Andy Warhol
Buying a piece of Artwork59 total reviews
Comment from Jesse James Doty
What a wonderful true story and the way the two of you were dubbed as gay just because you were admiring art is not unbelievable but it should be! Preconceived prejudices can work both ways, can't they? This is exceptionally written right down to the punch line! You and Kirby were just business partners, nothing more, nothing less!
Thanks for pointing out the obvious and to some of those on FS, the less obvious.
Take good care of yourself, Kirby!

Comment from Poetic Friend
This is truly a hoot. I agree there are preconceived prejudices that two guys admiring an Andy Warhol artwork must be gay.
I am glad to know that Zoe hung the picture in an area for all to admire.
Thank you for sharing such a delightful story. It placed a smile on my face.
Happy Holidays!

Comment from prettybluebirds
I am widowed and live with an older niece of mine. We were also accused of being gay and it kind of ticked me off at the time. Later, after thinking about it, we got a good laugh over the incidents. You're right about people jumping to conclusions about someone they don't even know. Your story is well done. Tons of luck in the contest.

Thank you very much. Zoe died three years ago. She had lots of gay friends. They were called Zoe's boys. We never had children, so it was fitting. Zoe once told a friend that the gay guys don't bother with Terry because his jeans are too baggy! Terry.
Comment from Brett Matthew West
Goes to show one never can tell what deep dark secrets lie underneath the surface.
If only more people would accept what they truly are.
Sure "Kirby" was surprised by your confession.
Doubt if you and "Zoe" gave the artwork up though.

Thank you very much. We kept the artwork, Zoe died 3 years ago, when I die, Kirby and Jodi get the Warhol through my will, it is his story as much as it is mine. Terry.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
LOL! What did he say to that? How funny. I suppose these days if two men are together they are unfortunately presumed to be gay. I think men will have to start wearing placards to say what gendre they are. It is so not right! This was funny, though, so, good luck in the contest! :)) Sandra xxx

LOL, Sandra, I don't think he knew what to say, and maybe not convinced until he came out to our house and saw it for himself. Thank you, Terry.

Comment from Constance Mae
I have to tell you that was so funny, I loved it... I noticed the sentence that said ( They would have dogs, labs) I would have said it They would have dogs, more specifically labs, and I personally would use negotiate not negotioated. I see your point about perception, we as humans have really overdone that one, but on the other hand it makes for great and funny stories sometimes.....you know there is a fine line when it come to funny, sometimes. Yours however was just perfect, Great job!!

Thank you for the Six stars and the input about the sentences. I must agree with you. It was a funny story first, and then I thought about the manger and his conclusion and then the need for the worker to pass it on to a complete stranger. Terry.

I look forward to reading more of your funny stories.

your welcome, and I hope you keep writting because I want to read more of you words on paper. Be Blessed.

Comment from Annmuma
One tiny spag - last line a typo in spelling young, I love this story and it is well told with prejudice toward any character. Why is it that we have such preconceived notions about people based on the 'outside' we see? Excellent job -- I am out of 6's! Good luck in your contest. ann
