I try to avoid that sort of thing and felt mildly guilty posting this one, but it made me giggle so much I couldn't resist sharing.

I believe that makes me a bad person.

That makes two of us, although the recent German proposal to give veto powers over the Greek budget to an outside budget commissioner should in all fairness justify some level of good-natured ribbing.

But if Greece leaves the Euro, Germany will have to start exporting inflation to countries which they can't bully into swallowing it. So obviously that's unacceptable.
