Aussie Art:
Artist Pablo Picasso surprised a burglar at work in his new chateau. The intruder got away, but Picasso told the police he could do a rough sketch of what he looked like. On the basis of his drawing, the police arrested a mother superior, the minister of finance, a washing machine, and the Eiffel Tower.

Re: Its Official, the U.K. and Australia are at war!!!
Recently an OZ man in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the Louvre. However, after planning the crime, and getting in and out past security, he was captured only two blocks away when his Renault van ran out of fuel. When asked how he could master-mind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied: 'I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gough.'
