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 Econoline 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 I bet you thought I lacked De Gaulle to post this!)

we pronounce it "Van Go"
I bet you pronounce the gh and if so, the pun wouldn't work very well.
How did Van Gogh pronounce it?

LOL!
OK. Well, that's what I figured. After all, it was his name.
Too funny.
He was Danish, right?
How is a gh pronounced? As an "f"? Or?

I think just for the sake of being tragic hipsters we all should go to La Louvre and rename him G. Then head over to New York and name a club after it. Don't even need Degas, just grab a cag and give the fucker all your Monet. Cheers.

maybe we can just use the picture frames as a floatation device and wallow out to see. It's cheaper than air and comes with and in-float meal... sushi.

Dave just sent me a message.
He said that the Danish pronunciation was either "Go" or "Goth."
He said both were correct.
hmmmm
And judih is saying the correct pronunciation is "Goch"
Now I'm confused.
Oh well. Nothing new.
I'm always confused.
For the sake of the pun in this joke, we'll call him Van Go.
'Tis the Cezanne.
