YESTERDAY THE EU RAN INTO JUDGE VAROUFAKIS’S COURTROOM AND CRIED, “ HIGHWAY ROBBERY ! WE WERE JUST ROBBED ! IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOMEONE FROM GREECE AND WE DEMAND JUSTICE.”
“THE ROBBER ASKED US FOR A LOAN JUST TO GET HIM BACK HERE TO GREECE. HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM MY TAXPAYERS – € 420 BILLION EUROS– AND THEN RAN OFF SAYING HE DIDN’T OWE ANYTHING BACK. HE TOOK EVERYTHING AND WONT’ PAY ANYTHING, LET ME TELL YOU.”
WELL NOW, JUDGE VAROUFAKIS REPLIED, “I SEE THAT YOUR TAXPAYERS ARE STILL WEARING THEIR SHIRTS – SO THE ROBBER DIDN’T TAKE EVERYTHING NOW, DID HE?”
WELL NO, SAID THE EU.
WELL THEN, SAID JUDGE VAROUFAKIS, “THEN THERE’S NO WRONG AND SO THERE’S NOTHING TO CHARGE.
“BUT, HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?” THE EU ASKED.
JUDGE VAROUFAKIS SMILED, EU, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DEMAND ANYTHING, MUCH LESS JUSTICE, ON TWO GROUNDS:
FIRST, JUSTICE IS AGAINST YOU, EU, BECAUSE YOU HAD IMPURE MOTIVES IN HELPING HIM BY LENDING HIM MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND SECOND, CHARACTER IS AGAINST YOU, EU, BECAUSE, AS YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN, GREEK THIEVES DO THINGS THOROUGHLY. IF HE HAD BEEN GREEK FROM HERE HE WOULD ALSO HAVE TAKEN THE SHIRT OFF YOUR BACKS.
CASE DISMISSED.
