banker: My bank is in financial trouble, what will I do.
lawyer: get a government bailout.
banker: we're a massive bank. What if the country gets into trouble.
lawyer: Don't worry. Austerity for the poor will sort that out.
banker: what if the country goes bankrupt. Who will revive the country.
lawyer: the banks.
banker: the ones that have not been bailed out.
lawyer: What are you talking about? everybody's been bailed out.
banker: stupid question.
lawyer: why use logic?
