Greece Tells Germany You owe us $95B war debt

from WWII.

I can't post link because it is from the Times of London on my ipad, but I found this is slightly amusing way for Athens to get itself out of debt.

OK, well, good luck with that.

This is one of the most ridiculously hilarious things I have ever heard in my life.

That takes some huevos, for sure. I have to tip my hat to Greece just for that.

[marie427]

Will they ask Italy for money too due to the Roman conquest of ancient Greece?

[Kristinmo]

I'm sure they will put a check in the mail today for that. I'm sure they have that in their efund.

Greece has been reduced to begging for more time to implement reform, and Germany is basically Greece's financial overlord at this point, so I don't know that this approach is the best. I still say Germany should invade and be done with it.

Ok, that's hilarious.

That is kind of awesome. I mean, it's obviously not going to work, but still.

Agreed. *thumbs up*

Right??? Those were my exact words.

Then I told H and he said, "Good luck on that one."

So clearly we're all on the same page.

There might have been some hearty laughing out loud, too.

Germany invading Greece because of its financial problems has been a long-running joke on the board.
