A German walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender tells him, "You need to pay 100 euros!"
The German was stunned: "100 Euros? It was only 10 euros yesterday!"
"Well, today it's 100 euros."
"Why 100, damn it?"
Bartender: "Let me explain.
- 10 euros for beer,
- 10 Help Ukraine,
- 20 aid packages for European countries that have imposed sanctions but are not members of the EU,
- 10 euros in aid to the UK for the successful implementation of sanctions against Russia,
- 10 euros were then sent to Balkan countries as aid to buy coal for stoves,
-- Finally, the EU got a 40 euro gas subsidy.
The poor German silently takes out his money and gives the bartender 100 euros.
The bartender took the money, went into the cash register and gave him back 10 euros.
The German says incredulously, "Wait, you said 100 euros, right? I gave you 100 euros, why would you give me 10 euros back?"
Bartender: "Well, we're out of beer."
