My Second Favorite Art Joke

Since the title of this post naturally causes you to ask my favorite art joke, click on the link for that one.

So, now to my second favorite:

Many years ago in Paris, a group of art thieves stole several Monet paintings in a daring theft.

The police had no leads, but figured they would make an arrest when the thieves tried to fence the paintings.

Several years past, and there were no leads.  Even the shadiest art dealers had not been contacted by the thieves.  The police were stumped.

Finally, one day, a young woman scorned by a boyfriend walked into a police station and told the cops who was involved and where the art could be found.

The police busted in, found the art in the basement of a Parisian home, and the thieves were busy squiring their dates around to see the art.

When the police questioned one of the thieves as to why they simply stole the paintings and hung them up just to impress their dates without trying to sell the paintings, the thief replied, "We got our Monets for nothing and our chicks for free."
