French Petrol Prices

[starone]

A thief in Paris planned to steal some
paintings from the Louvre.

After careful planning, he got past security,
stole the paintings, and made it safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of petrol.

When asked how he could mastermind such a crime yet make such an obvious error, he replied,

'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings. I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.'

I posted this thread because I figured I had nothing Toulouse.

I think you should get off your Botti celli and make a drink.

[starone]

I knew you would like it. Even if it did make you groan.

[marval]

Groan, didn't he have a Citroen Picasso to drive?

[maggiebee]

Can't think of a witty response starbuck, but liked the joke.

[jno]

tut, what century did that come from? These days those painters are in the Musée d'Orsay.

[Khandro]

He was identified by his Gaudi pullover.

[starone]

jno you are too literal, this is supposed to be a joke.

[JonnyBoy12]

You should have seen my face when I saw this joke. It was a picture.

[douglas9401]
