Mark – Thanks. For the record, Captain Euro first came up in the Corner a few years ago. But a reader just sent this:

I hope you are clicking through the link Mark Steyn provided to Captain Euro. There’s a square (cell? what do they call them?) where forces allied with evil Dr. D.Vider are stealing a Van Gogh (umm). One of Dr. D’s girls pulls something out of her pocket as Captain Euro approaches, and says “let’s see how you cope with this!” Captain Euro says “Watch out!!!! She’s got a smoke grenade!!!”
You don’t even have to write jokes for this stuff.
