Reminds me of an anecdote I heard about Pablo Picasso: When he once he
noticed he didn't have enough money with him to pay for a coffee, the
waiter proposed that Picasso should draw some sketch and pay with that
instead. The artist agreed, drew some sketch on a napkin (or whatever
was at hand), and handed it over -- unsigned. When the waiter asked
Picasso to sign his work, the artist replied: "Garcon, I intend to pay
for a coffee, not buy the entire shop."
