Re: Van Gogh references-
I have a great joke that I pull out of the bag whenever anyone mentions Van Gogh. Best told with a completely straight face. It goes something like this:
Stooge: Blah blah blah blah blah Vincent Van Gogh Blah blah.
Me: Oh yeah? I met Vincent Van Gogh you know, in a pub.
Stooge: Bollocks did you, Van Gogh's dead.
Me: That's what I said. I said 'you're dead', and he said 'no I'm not.'
Stooge: *raises eyebrow incredulously*
Me: ( babble on regardless, maintaining straight face)So I told him I was a great admirer of his work and offered to buy him a pint, but he said "no thanks, I've got one 'ere."
