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.<br /><br />When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, 'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.'<br /><br />I had no Monet<br />To buy Degas<br />To make the Van Gogh.'<br /><br />See if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else...<br /><br />I podsted it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouserichardhttp://blog.richardtugwell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-45740282645577529032009-08-03T11:54:09.799+01:002009-08-03T11:54:09.799+01:00Okay!

I'm afraid that people will attempt to do the Heimlich maneuver on me if I say it like that over here, so I think that I will remain a chicken and say, "van Go". - Glad that you liked "van Gosh"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-60257191764197371462009-08-02T18:49:36.512+01:002009-08-02T18:49:36.512+01:00@Nikki........well it's a sort of choking soun...@Nikki........well it's a sort of choking sound like Ghoghhhh where you get the wagler at the back of yr throat wagling really well. It's a sound that really only a Dutchman can make, but the English do it quite well. Americans just chicken out.....shame!!! I like the van Gosh, though. That's really clever.

Am also drawn to that gorgeous wall in the foreground, with its beautiful rounded top. <br /><br />As to the history, I had absolutely no idea that Van Gogh preached in this church. Thankyou for that information.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-76521483173112146492009-08-01T12:44:39.931+01:002009-08-01T12:44:39.931+01:00@Richard......I did not say that.

Mon idée est que tu es très occupé comme nous le sommes tous, en été.<br />Et bien quelle belle idée d'avoir perdu Van Gogh pour Richmont, il a été gagné pour Auvers sur Oise même s'il y est mort !<br />(Comme tous les génies il était un peu "dérangé", non ?)Cergiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623905868861239570noreply@blogger.com
