German police questioned her when she filled in the words at an art exhibit.

The pensioner, who has not been named under German privacy law, was questioned under caution after she filled in the work valued at €80,000 (£67,000) with a biro.

    Reminds me of a sign on a piece of equipment at work:

    Please leave. Do not move.

    C’mon, make up you damn mind! How can I leave AND not move?
