Mephisto and Faust talk about the European Union

Mephisto : My dear Faust, what do you think about the European Union?

Faust : Die Europaische Union? Na, was Meinst Du?

M : Well, I mean, do you have any particular opinion about it?

F : Rarely, but I quite like Romania.

M : Romania isn't in the EU.

F : Oh, perhaps I'm thinking of Poland then?

M : Possibly. Romania is the place which housed the Ceausescu's.

F : The Ceausescu's, were they the ones who stole the gold taps from the White House?

M : I believe so, but anyway, since they are no more and since Romania is not part of the EU, perhaps we could migrate to a more relevant discussion?

F : What do you think they did with the taps?

M : I really wouldn't know. What about Turkey?

F : Did they steal taps too?

M : I have no idea, but what about them joining the EU?

F : Didn't they invade someone once?

M : Most of Europe has that distinction dearest Faustus, could you be more specific?

F : No, it doesn't matter. Are they joining the EU then?

M : It would seem so.

F : I see. That'll please the Pope.

M : The Pope?

F : Never mind. Let's all join together, that's what I would like to say. By the way, could I exchange these Zloty for Euro please?

M : No, they aren't legal tender here dear Faust.

F : Ah, I see. But you'll take US Dollars I imagine?

M : Most gladly my dear friend, most gladly. It's all a matter of economics you know.

F : I do believe that is what Edward Heath also said.

M : Indeed. Is the cottage pie ready yet do you know?

F : Yes, I'm just looking for the oven gloves, perhaps you would pour the wine dear Mephisto.

M : Well, naturally, I shall do it immediately.
