My sister in law was an art major (the first time she went to college) and she had a studio pottery class. I don't know what she was trying to make, but she ended up making this box-like thing (picture a chest with the lid flipped up). I asked her what it was and she said, "a mess." She was supposed to be entering it in the student art show too, so she was really freaking out.
Well, she titled the piece "This is not a chair" (after the magritte painting with "this is not a pipe." It did sort of look like a chair without a seat. If you squinted.
Can you believe her piece WON!!!!!!!!!!! ?? Seriously. It took "best in show" or whatever they call it. She swears it won because of the title. She still laughs about that today.
