It’s the 1890’s in Paris. A woman is walking down the street. Suddenly she spots a short man walking towards her and realizes that it’s Toulouse Lautrec, the famous painter.
“Monsieur Lautrec” she says, as she reaches him. “Today is my husband’s birthday. I wonder if you would be kind enough to draw a sketch of me so that I can present it to my husband as a birthday present”.
“Of course madame” says Lautrec. And with that he produces a sketch pad and pencil and begins to draw the lady.
A few minutes later he presents it to her. “Oh monsieur” she says. “That’s wonderful. How much do I owe you?”
“Ten thousand francs madame” he says.
“Ten thousand francs but it only took you 5 minutes”.
“No madame. It took me a lifetime”.

But at the end of the day, you get what you pay for.
