THIS could happen, France will be France.

Breaking News:

Reuter: The Republic of France has filed an official complaint

against the United States of America for losses of working days

totaling billions of dollars. From last tuesday to friday, the french

did not go to work because of an announcement made by

President elected Obama. Everyone must know that in the

french population, English is not a widely understood language

and due to this fact, the statement may have been

misunderstood. On monday President Obama, was quoted in

saying : "My fellows Americans, there will be a change and the

world must observe these changes. A new day has come and

we will move forward because starting from tomorrow,

YES, WEEK END"

Who wouldn't want another day off... if someone else is paying for it. The consequences of this attitude are clearly reflected in countries like Greece and Cuba. Ultimately, the system collapses and the standard of living hits bottom. Everybody wants something for nothing.
