This actually happened on an episode of Antique Roadshow that I watched last night.
Very old gent brought a portrait of a woman to get an estimate of its value.
The antique expert says, "We think it was painted by a man named 'Ware.'"
Old gents asks, "Ware?"
The antique expert replies, "From Vermont."
I thought I was hearing a lost Abbott and Costello routine.
