Overheard in the Men's Room in the Greek Parliament

Dimitri:  How are we going to solve this crisis?
Hector:  We've got to get the people to stop demonstrating and throwing fire bombs.
Dimitri:  How?
Hector:  We'll get them working in the private sector for the first time, non-government jobs.
Dimitri:  Then what?
Hector:  Then, for the first time, we get them all to pay taxes.
Dimitri:  How?
Hector:  We hire a bunch of compliance officers and tax collectors.
Dimitri:  You mean honest people who would not accept bribes?
Hector:  You right, we're screwed.
