Since it is Saturday, and since we are in high turbulence and a blind panic over the rerun of the Greek elections and a possible disintegration of the Euro itself if German intransigence continues and Greece finally breaks into smithereens as a direct result of The Frau’s inhuman, and stupid, stringent austerity policy, I thought we’d lighten up the mood with two jokes.
First joke. A Greek man tells his wife, “I am so worried by the crisis that I can’t sleep at night any more!” The wife answers. “Oh, I find I am sleeping like a baby.” “Like a baby?” the man asks in total disbelief. “Yes.” She says quite naturally. “Just like a baby. I wake up every two hours and start to cry.”
The next joke is the composition of the G8, the richest economies in the world, currently meeting to solve the global crisis.
This club of the mightiest and strongest in the world is made up of: the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Russia.
Now is that a joke, or isn’t it?
