When it came to craftiness, I thought the Greeks were well ahead of any other nation. So much so that, in the past, whenever I shook the hand of a Greek, afterwards I always counted my fingers to make sure they were still all there. Last week I was proven wrong.
You know Japan? One of the countries with the largest number of centenarians? Coral calcium and all?
Pure fiction! The truth is otherwise. Some of the alleged centenarians actually died years ago. In order to continue receiving the state pensions, their families simply kept their corpses at home.
Brilliant idea! Absolutely brilliant! Eventually you get used to the flies.
