The rain beats down in a small Greek town. It’s cold. The streets are deserted.
Times are very tough. Everyone is miserable. They are all in debt & living on credit.
A rich German arrives at the local hotel, asks to view the rooms & puts on the desk a hundred euro note.
The owner gives him a bunch of keys & the German heads off to inspect the rooms.
The moment he’s gone round the corner, the hotelier grabs the note & runs next door to pay off his debt to the butcher.
The butcher hurries down the street to pay what he owes to his feed merchant.
The merchant heads for the local bar & pays off his bar bill.
The bar owner slips the note to the local hooker who’s been offering her services on credit.
She rushes over to the hotel to pay what she owes for the room hire.
As she puts the hundred euro note on the counter the German appears, says the rooms are unsuitable, picks up his hundred euro note and leaves town.
No-one did any work; no-one earned anything. ...But all are now happy and out of debt....
