Finally, after all these years, I know how to do it! 1. Go into hospital to have your gall bladder removed. 2. Be kept in for a second day. 3. Spend most of that day chatting to the other three men on the ward and tell them you are an artist. 4. Hand out your cards with your website on and they have a look on their phones. 5. One of them buys a painting of a squirrel. Easy! Unfortunately it only works once, so how the hell I sell another one I have no idea!!
