Mrs. Flinders decided to have her portrait painted. She told the artist: “Paint me with diamond earrings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets and a ruby pendant.”
“But you're not wearing any of those things.”
“I know,” said Mrs. Flinders. “It's in case I should die before my husband. I'm sure he'd remarry right away, and I want her to go nuts looking for the jewelry.”
