Dateline Paris, France: A suspect accused of stealing valued art from a city museum was bragging to the court of the ease of doing so. It recalled the story of similar thieves who broke into the Louvre and escaped but several kilometers down the road their vehicle ran out of petrol. In questioning them the authorities were curious how a well planned operation could overlook such a detail. The reply was "Monsieur, we did not have enough MONET to buy DEGAS to make the VAN GOGH." And, yes, I have DE GAULLE to tell that story again.
