Mr. Gallery: "I have a question for you" (takes out an iPad) "I read on your website that you majored in art?"
Dr. Grumpy: "Um, no. My undergraduate degree is in physics. I'm pretty sure it says that on my site."
Mr. Gallery: "Are you sure? I thought I'd read that somewhere. Maybe it was Yelp or something."
Dr. Grumpy: "I'm sure. Believe me. I have no knowledge of art whatsoever."
Mr. Gallery: "Oh" (looks disappointed, puts away iPad) "I was really hoping you could help identify some of the paintings at my parent's house. I even took pictures of them."

Physics, huh? Now I will be picturing you as Sheldon Cooper or more likely, Leonard Hofstadter. Only taller. Definitely taller.
Well, that explains a lot. I've never met a physics major who isn't a complete whackadoo.
That art looks a lot like a Rorschach
I suppose it's obvious that you didn't major in art just by looking at the way you dress, right? :p
My roommate in college was a Math/Physics major. Scary smart, but yes, a bit like Sheldon or his female friend. Thanks bunkywise.
Oh dear Grumpy, you have outed yourself as Aspie of the Week!
VBG because my son is an Aspie. He's smart, loving (in a strange way to non-Aspies) Nothing to be scared of . .
Doesn't physics turn into more of an "art" at the subatomic level?
"The thing is that I'm a little light right now, and my crack dealer mentioned that he really likes Thomas Kinkade."
"And while you're at it, I have a few faucets that need replacing, too."
The problem being that, once you identify the paintings, you lose all information about their momentum.
Hey! What ever happened to doctor-patient confidentiality???
I see nothing that identifies the patient (or the physician) in this post. Confidentiality appears to be intact, Charles.
Physics IS art!
When you describe conversations that you have with your patients, I cannot help but think, you're a neurologist. One of your most important assessment functions (important at least to the person who has referred the patient to you) is to determine if the patient has a neuro dysfunction, is just whacky, or if the neuro dysfunction is causing the whackiness. With your patients, how can you tell? It seems that you have more than your share of whackies who defy all diagnostic criteria. Tricia
Next question was going to be the appraisal value, you know it. Or, maybe if you could do a real-good forgery? (A little added excitement to the day job.)
She needs to read you November 21st post.
Could you, at the least, tell what kind of neurological problem the artist suffered from?
LOL at patient
