In theory these would still fit
THE nation of Greece said sorry to the European Union with a present of an enormous wooden horse.
Left outside the European Central Bank in the dead of night, the
horse has now been moved into the ECB’s central lobby where it is
proudly on display.
A gift tag attached to the horse, which is surprisingly light for its
size and has small holes along the length of its body, suggested that
it should be placed in the bank’s vaults overnight to avoid it being
targeted by thieves.
Mario Draghi, President of the ECB, said: “How nice of the Greeks to
acknowledge the trouble we’ve been put to on their behalf with this
wonderful horse, handmade and so large it could hold a dozen
double-decker buses.
“The card with it, which had a teddy bear dressed as a hobo on the
front, explained that Greece made us this because they don’t have enough
money for a present, which brought a tear to my eye.
“Nonetheless, unless they can somehow find €200 billion overnight then austerity measures must continue.”
Oddly, Greek representatives in Brussels have hinted that they may
soon be in a position to settle their debts and have puzzled the French
and German banks that hold their loans by asking if there is any
discount for cash.
The government of Spain has reacted angrily to the gift, accusing the
Greeks of trying to bribe the ECB and redoubling their own efforts to
weave a gigantic sombrero-wearing straw donkey.
