I can’t find any good news in this morning’s newspapers which are pretty depressing in their detailed accounts of the calamities that have befallen people in the last few days. So I’ve looked further afield in search of something to raise a smile for a change.
I found it in the tale of the Romanian witches who, for the first time, have been forced to pay taxes (at 16%) because their own superstitious country is as cash-strapped as so many others in these economically-challenged days. One witch said: ‘This law is foolish. What is there to tax, when we hardly earn anything. The lawmakers don’t look at themselves, at how much they make, their tricks; they steal and they come to us asking us to put spells on their enemies.'
Converting action into words, a dozen witches descended on the banks of the Danube River and hurled a poisonous mandrake plant into it along with curse on government officials so that ‘evil will befall them’.
If only it were that simple!
