skipvice Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, "Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the painting...I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh." (And you thought I didn't have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else.) Well, I figured I had nothing Toulouse. Hey, it is not easy to find clean jokes!!!!!

Paulbangkok Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Oh my giddy aunt, what a groaner! Oh my giddy aunt, somebody other than my mother that say's "Oh my giddy aunt" I was trying to be ironic! I didn't mean it as an Insult. Mum says lots of stuff that i've never heard anyone else say, thats all!!
suegha Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I knew you didn't mean it as an insult! I think it's funny and often used by people who use it in preference to swearing... My dad used to use sayings without using the punch-line. A classic was "It's like looking for a pork pie"without adding "in a synagogue"!

Me mum usually starts one that she doesn't know and finishes it with chaff! Oooh I'm colder than a.........cold person .......in coldsville and that sort of thing, also one of the only people I know that Involuntarily say's "Whoops a daisy" when having a minor accident!!!! (however i've said it a couple of times recently, maybe its Hereditary!)

Although living in Liverpool (I'm originally from Dublin) some of the sayings just 'aint understood!
