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