Silly Eurocrats

Bureaucracy at its worst:

Brussels bureaucrats were ridiculed yesterday after banning drink manufacturers from claiming that water can prevent dehydration.

EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact.

Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict


Next week: breathing air will not prevent suffocation.

Coming from such a body as the EU, this doesn't even raise an eyebrow. Anyone who has so much as brushed up against a history book can tell you that the European Union -- and by extension the Eurodollar -- was doomed to failure from inception. It's just a matter of time until the Germans get tired of propping up the whole farcical house of cards and decide they could run everything much more efficiently from the turret of a panzer.

That's actually correct: breathing air will not correct suffocation. Try this experiment at 50,000 feet. I'd wager a paycheck you'd still suffocate.
Just sayin'.
