Whose is your favorite painter

 

I was listening to Laugh USA in the car. It has stand up comedy all day. 

One comedian was recounting an experience while he was dating. 

First a group for guys and gals gathered in a room. A facilitator came and said, "To break the ice, we will go thru the room and each of you give one word answers to a number of questions (then there would be speed dating I think)."

The first question was, "Who is your favorite painter?".  The gals were asked first. (I think the instructions were not to repeat an answer).  The first gal said "Van Gogh", the next "Monet", then "Picasso", etc.  The comedian was sweating because he didn't know artists well.  Then when the guys were asked, the first said, "Michelangelo".

 The comedian felt better because he remembered that 3 other of the TMNTurtles were named for artists. But other guys immediately before him picked Leonardo, Donatello and Rafael.  It was the comedian's turn.  He hesitated for a few seconds then said, "Splinter" and got some laughs from both guys and gals.

 

One of his speed dates said she loved the answer. He said, "Thanks but it was done in panic since I don't know anything about art", which ruined that part of the speed date.
