What We Know About the Greek Debt Crisis…

Tweet

Global economics are confusing, and if you’re anything like us, all of this talk about the Greek debt crisis has you thinking, “Hey, at least it’s not America for a change!”

Still, our oracle tells us that this thing is pretty important – as denoted by the word crisis in the title and all – so we’ve assembled our team of crack investigators to gather a list of everything that we here at Just Laugh know about the Greek debt crisis so far to help bring the rest of the world up to speed…

• Greece is a country in Europe.
• If you had to locate Greece on a map, you’d probably pick Italy by mistake, but it’s still pretty close.
• The Greek government just missed a debt payment of 1.5 billion euros, which even in a currency you’ve heard of is a whole lotta cannolis … which are also Italian.
• If Greece can’t work out its debt issues, it may find itself kicked out of the euro zone, which we can only assume is some sort of gay techno-funk nightclub.
• Alexander the Great was from Greece, but he died like 2,300 years ago so they probably can’t pin this thing on his administration…
• Greece is roughly the size of the state of Alabama, but without nearly as much Dukes of Hazzard memorabilia.
• My Big Fat Greek Wedding was filmed in Toronto, Canada.
• If every person in Greece could chip in, like $136, this thing could totally be over…
