When the New York Times Makes You Laugh

We should all savor those moments when the New York Times makes us laugh outloud. In an article about somewhat crumpled art critic Robert Hughes, Joyce Wadler cites her subject as having said, approximately:

"Comparing the careers of J. Seward Johnson Jr. and Jeff Koons, he once said, was like debating the merits of dog excrement versus cat excrement."

Which did make me laugh. And was a little harsh, in my humble opinion, on poor Mr. Johnson.
