MON DIEU! THE COST OF GAS IN FRANCE:
A poor and desperate, out-of-work gentleman, living in Paris, decided to steal some paintings from the Louvre Art Museum, where they were on display.
The man planned and plotted the heist, right down to the smallest detail, going over it again and again in his mind to make sure that nothing could go wrong.
On the day of the heist, he arrived at the Louvre according to the schedule he had planned out. He then entered the building and made it past security with no problems, and proceeded to steal just those paintings he had on his list.
He carefully removed the masterpieces from their frames, gently rolling them and sliding them into cardboard tubes, placing the tubes into a duffel bag that he had hidden under is coat.
After procuring and stashing away the last painting, the thief slowly proceeded to leave the building, once again making it safely past the security guards.
Once out of the building, he walked swiftly to his vehicle, placing the duffel bag, containing the works of art, onto the back seat. He then climbed in behind the steering wheel, started the vehicle and pulled away into traffic, smug in the knowledge that he had just pulled off the greatest heist in the history of the Louvre.
But as luck would have it, or as they say, "the best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray,"
the poor man was captured, by two of Paris' finest, just two blocks away from the scene of the crime, when his get-away van ran out of gas.
They arrested him, placed him in handcuffs, and took him to the nearest police station where he was questioned by the local Chief of Inspectors, who asked the thief, "How could you mastermind such a heist, but then make such an obvious mistake of not putting enough gas in your get-away vehicle?"
The now disheartened thief replied saying: "Monsieur Inspector, that is the reason why I stole the paintings;
I had no Monet
To buy Degas
To make the Van Gogh!"
NOW, LET US SEE IF YOU HAVE De GAULLE TO TELL THIS STORY TO SOMEONE ELSE.
I TOLD IT TO YOU BECAUSE I FIGURED I HAD NOTHING TOULOUSE.
