A thief broke into the Louvre and stole several valuable paintings, but was caught less than a block away after his getaway car ran out of gas. When the police inspector asked him how he could plan such a daring robbery but be foiled by such a simple mistake, he broke down.
"Oh monsieur," he wailed, "I was Baroque. I had no Monet to buy Degas to make ze Van Gogh."
