Here's one I heard George Clooney talk about on the radio that I've always wanted to try out:
For approximately one month, everytime his friends would call him and ask if he wanted to go out, he told them that he had an art class to go to. He bought some brushes and some paints and had them sitting on his coffee table when his friends came over...
George then started going to yard sales until he found the most hideous painting he could find. He wrapped it up and gave it to his friend as a gift, telling him that he'd worked forever on it and was proud at what he had painted.
Even though his friend hates the picture, he appreciates the effort and doesn't wish to hurt George's feelings. So, his friend puts the painting above his fireplace. George said that the hideous picture was hanging above his friend's fireplace for damn near a year...
