How Greeks Do Business
Con talks to his son George.
CON (father): 'I want you to marry a girl of my choice.'
GEORGE (son): 'I will choose my own bride!!'
CON (father): 'But the girl is Bill Gates' daughter..'
GEORGE (son): 'Well, in that case... okay.'
Next CON approaches Bill Gates.
CON (father): 'I have a husband for your daughter.... '
Bill Gates: 'But my daughter is too young to marry!!'
CON (father): 'But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank.'
Bill Gates: 'Ah! in that case... okay.'
Finally CON goes to see the president of the World Bank.
CON: 'I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president.'
President: 'But I already have more vice-presidents than I need!'
CON: 'But this young man is Bill Gates' son-in-law.'
President: 'Ah, in that case... okay.'
And that, my friends, is how Greeks do business.
