"Mr President, I have to admit that I had a little nap during the votes, and, while I was asleep, I saw the 15 Heads of State, meeting in Brussels for this European Council, having an animated discussion. One of them said to the others: ‘In order to balance the pensions accounts, you should do as we used to do in Italy and still do today. In Italy, when we select the Finance Minister, we give him a medical examination. We x-ray his chest to see if he has a heart of stone. We test his eyes to see if he has square pupils for squaring the accounts. Then we carry out a blood test to see if he has a high resistance to alcohol because, in some governmental circles, a toast is drunk every time a pensioner dies. We selected our Finance Minister in this way and so we do not have to worry. You should do as we have done!’"@en1
