THE 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 make such an obvious error, he replied,

'Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.'

I had no Monet （I had no "Money")

to buy Degas   (To buy "the Gas")

to make the Van Gogh.' (To make the "van go")

See if you have De Gaulle to send    (See if you have "the dollar" to send...)

This on to someone else.

I sent it to you because I figured

I had nothing Toulouse .   (I had nothing "to lose")
