The Government of Sri Lanka submitted an application last evening to replace Greece, after it emerged that the latter country’s creditors are refusing to accept bland yoghurt in lieu of money owed and may be kicked out of Europe.
Greece’s economic woes began when it deposited surplus government funds with Golden Key in the mid-nineties, and are now struggling to get any of the money back. In a desperate move, Greece has tried to belatedly patent Democracy, but fears it may be too late with the US having secured the marketing and commercial rights already and setup a distribution network by force and recognising significant profits.
Sri Lanka and Greece have close ties and partnered on a number of initiatives over the years, most recently when Greece supplied Sri Lanka with a Yaka for its former government’s fear creation policy.
The Sri Lanka Minister of Foreign Affairs said “Sri Lankans are constantly trying to get in to Europe, so we thought we will make it easier for them by joining the continent”
Asked to Philosophise on the events, Socrates commented “The only true wisdom is to know that compound interest on a loan is a bugger”
