St Peter decides he wants a new coat of paint on the Pearly Gates. He asks an Albanian for a quote. The man says €600: €300 for the materials and €300 for my labour.
He gets a second quote from a German who says €900: €300 for the materials, €300 for my labour and €300 for the tax I have to pay on it.
He then asks a Greek, who says €3,000.
"Why so much?" St Peter asks in horror.
The Greek replies, "Listen, pal, there's €1,000 for you, €1,000 for me, €300 for the materials, €300 to get the Germans to look the other way, and €400 to hire an Albanian to do the work".
