THE PRICE OF GAS

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 yet make such 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 deGaulle to forward this to someone else. I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse. I hope this brought a chuckle. After all, 'tis the Cezanne to be jolly!
 
Not about gas, however, after World War II a man was trying to sell 10,000 French rifles. Another man asked him how much they were and was told. The second man wanted to know if they were good rifles and was told, never fired and only dropped once.

Kinda goes with the joke, Why are there trees planted along the roads in France? So the Germans can march in the shade.

Well they did win one war ... the French Revolution, but that's only because they fought the French.

Jokes aside, they were the terror of Europe under Napoleon. The Prussians (Germans) beat them in 1870 shaming the heck out of them, and then out of pride they fought like madmen in WW1, losing over 1.3 million dead. That, along with the leftist inspired pacifist movements between the wars almost completely ruined the French Army. The humiliating losses at Dienbienphu and Algeria completed the cycle and they really do not count for much any more.
