I guess they need more than just economic stimulus.

Even the "hookers" there are thinking about going on strike.
Apparently they want more back pay. :rolleyes:

[Tom]

Can you lay off a hooker?

[PhantomOnTour]

It's Lysistrata all over again...you guys fix what's wrong or no nook-nook

[Robert Fischer]

Can you lay off a hooker?
not "off"

[JustRalph]

Can you lay off a hooker?

you have it backwards

[canleakid]

it's still all Greek to me :lol: :lol:

[Robert Fischer]

I can't lay off the hookers...,

I don't do the hiring and firing around here!

The Greeks are screwing somebody.....the Germans have to work until they are 67 so they can bail out the Greeks who retire at 50.

Yeah...but the Germans are used to working, so it doesn't bother them too much.

The Greeks, on the other hand, are used to a life of leisure...so hard work is a big adjustment for them...

We should live the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed... :)

[Tom]

I agree...as long we pay our own way.
Those that do not deserve to fail.

After reading this (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-coliseum-porn-20120530,0,7705663.story) I wonder if the Parthenon might be next.

Which is a nice way of saying they are lazy.

Which is a nice way of saying they are lazy.

There are two kinds of Greeks...my friend.

The ones who have remained in Greece, and the ones who have migrated to other countries.

The ones who have migrated to other countries are among the hardest working people in existence...and I know this for a fact because I have dealt with them in a big way for almost 40 years.

Many of them came to this country in their adult years, bringing with them young children...but, after working very long hours at the most menial jobs, they were able to accomplish things that even the natives of this country were unable to accomplish -- even with all the advantages they enjoyed, comparatively speaking.

The forty-hour work week doesn't exist for the immigrant Greeks...regardless of economic conditions. They have worked 60-hour weeks for many years...because they know what true poverty is...and they do what needs to be done so they can keep abreast of it.

Unfortunately...our work ethic did not rub off on our native brethren...who have been lulled to sleep by the corrupt political system that has governed them for many years now.

It's one thing to have corrupt political leadership in a large, powerful country...and it's quite another to have widespread government corruption in a small country like Greece.

The shit hits the fan in a hurry...
