A very different post today, just for fun, to make you laugh to the clever use of some French names in this art-and-artists-related story I received from a friend in a forwarded email. I don’t know who the original author is, I simply copied the whole message. Enjoy today’s Art & Fun: Fun facts about France.
Price of gas in France
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 gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then makesuch 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.’
See if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else.
I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse ..
