 The story was related to me about a mobile by Alexander Calder. It was in a
storage closet and was discarded by a janitor. The story was related to me
during a meeting with someone speaking to those interested in the 'foreign
service'. I was in my early teens and of course took it to mean that he
thought I looked like a Calder mobile and therefore had aesthetic value. For
many years I made a career out of basically just having aesthetic value.

 One evening I was sleeping in a storage closet with my other famous artwork
friends thinking deliciously abstract thoughts and... I was discarded.

 After that I got a job. I now I can discard whoever I please . I can have
someone else discard them to save time...
