Joke thread

An art expert was strolling around a car boot sale. Checking a stall selling pictures, he was staggered to recognise an old master oil painting. With all his expertise, he knew without doubt it was an original. The art dealer's Holy Grail, to find a real treasure at a car boot sale.
He casually approached the guy running the stall.
"Are you the stall holder" he asks. "No said the man, just minding the store while he's having lunch, but the owner gave me a list if anyone was looking to buy". The art dealer can't believe his luck, a yokel left in charge. He enquires the cost of a random painting. The guy checks his notes,"That's a landscape by a local artist, sez 'ere 40 quid". The dealer points to a portrait painting. Again the guy checks his notes "That's by another local artist, sez 'ere 50 quid"
Finally, trying very hard to stay calm, he points to the old master, "That's a nice picture, it'll look good over the fireplace", how much?
Again the man checks his notes "That one is 8 million, it's by Rembrandt.
