Did you hear about the guy in Paris who almost got away with stealing
several classic paintings from the Louvre? After planning the crime, getting
in and out past security, he was captured only two blocks away when his SUV
ran out of gas. When asked how he could possibly mastermind such a crime and
then make such an obvious error, he replied: "Monsieur, I had no Monet to
buy Degas to make the Van Gogh!
(And you thought I lacked De Gaulle to send you a story like this....)
YOU ALL ADDED
"Next time he will Rembrandt to buy gas."
"How did he carry all those paintings out without a Dali?"
"He should have used an 'S' car. Doesn't take much to make an escargot. But
maybe he couldn't a ford it."

A man was sitting relaxing in an airplane when another guy dropped into the
seat beside him. This new guy was a pale wreck. His hands were shaking; he
was biting his nails; he was moaning in low tones. "Hey, pal, what's the
matter?" said the first man.
"Oh my, I've been transferred to Los Angeles, California," the second
answered. "Los Angeles has race riots, rampant street drugs, and the highest
crime rate in America."
"Hold on," said the first man. "I've lived in Los Angeles all my life, and
it's not as bad as the media portrays. Find a nice home, go to work, mind
your own business, enroll your kids in a good school, and it's as safe as
anywhere in the world."
The second guy stopped shaking for a moment and said, "Oh, thank God. I was
worried to death, but if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take your word
for it. What do you do for a living?"
"What do I do?" replied the first, "I'm a tail gunner on a bread truck."
(suppose I'll get flack from all the grif.net readers in LA now . . )
