Yesterday at work...

... an hour before work was over and when eveyone was tired. Colleagues were making jokes and I started to rant, again, about how boring listening to local FM radio stations is. Every station claims to have the best mix but in truth they all have 10 tracks counting playlist on radom mode, every moderator thinks he's the king of the FM Radio band and even the culuture stations offer only three topics: 50 year of immigration in Germany, financial crisis in Italy and the financial crisis in Greece.
"How do you remember the telephone information service number 11-88-0? Well, 11 Million Greeks. 88 Mrd. EUR of debts. 0 Chance."
"Oh, Canada wants you to pay up to 75.000 USD along with a immigration request. Lets our 5 Mio Turkish immigrants pay that fee belatedly. If they complain we can just say "you know.. german bureaucracy... takes a while - sorry". That would solve a lot of problems. We could hand Greece 2 billards EUR to get rid of the dept and say "Oh, here you go. Something we found under one of our old filing cabinets - buy yourself something nice"". But I guess kicking them out of the EU and buying the country für 53 cents afterwards would be wiser. Oh! We could seel it on ebay afterwards "Broken. Comes without warranty. No refund!"
Sidenote: I'm really pissed. I understand that not every citizen may be part of the disaster but _every_ greek citizen knows that curruption is major problem of the greek culture. So shut up and live with it. They get money for "free". There's no right to complain. Acting overly proud is not the way to deal with it right now.
Btw, my new favorite 'yer mom' Joke: "Yer mom is so fat, if she gets divided by zero, a rest will remain."
Don't ask. Just don't ask how we came up with this one :)
