What makes it for me is the mention of Geocities at the end (its gone, dont exist, been turned of, went *poof!*, into the nether… etc etc.). Even comedy cant keep up with developments online. HA!
This is the most honest opinion I have heard on the whole bloody situation surrounding Ireland, the economy worldwide, the bailout and the banks. I love social media, there is no way any of this would have been broadcast on any TV reporting station in the world. Mores the pity.
I wish this old fella was my grandad. I’m dead impressed. He would be great craic in the pub. (Language ALERT for any who don’t like to hear it like it is!)
It never ceases to amaze me how the Irish always manage to put something in perspective, even when its an 85 billion euro loan from the EU. Just to lighten the mood (and to deviate away from my usual social media efforts to something much more on the “social” side) heres how it works…and I can never resisit a good joke.
It is a slow day in a damp little Irish town.
The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted.
Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the town, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.
The guy at the Farmers’ Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the pub.
The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him “services” on credit.
The prostitute then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note.
The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.
No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works.
Well, that just puts it all into perspective doesnt it! Hope that put a bit of a smile on your face. If it didnt, then this might just cap it of.
