Kip Powick Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 THE PRICE OF GAS Did you hear about the guy in Paris who almost got away with stealing several paintings from the Louvre? After planning the crime, getting in and out past security, he was captured only two blocks away when his SUV 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 probably lacked De Gaulle to post this !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon The Loon Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Dear Diary. Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double pane energy efficient kind, but this week, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I hadn't paid for them. Hellloooo? Now just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told ME last year......namely, that in just ONE YEAR, these windows would pay for themselves! Helllooooo? "It's been a year!", I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up.... He didn't call back. Guess I won that stupid argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check Pilot Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Oh Yeah.... I got promised the same thing. I tried that line the day they got installed. From the icy stare, I thought wifey was going to beat me senseless.Then she looked like this at me---- Although the installers didn't threaten to take them back. (Which made me happy ). In the end, the bank account got slimmer again. I think I'm getting writers cramp from signing all those cheques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
