I  was visiting a gallery owner in Charlottesville Virginia one day and I showed her a few slides of my latest work.

"Jeff, I love your work because you don't take yourself so damned seriously."

"I'm glad to hear you say that!  There's a project I always wanted to do but nobody has had the guts...(I actually used a different part of the anatomy in my reply but...) to let me do it."

"What's that?"

I want to do some ostriches...

"I LOVE ostriches.  What can you do on either side of a front door in a Sears Roebuck house? 

I didn't tell her the name of the project until the day it was installed.  She was still laughing when I visited her five years later...
