Greece explained

> The Mayor of the Greek town visited the Spanish town. When he saw
> the palatial mansion belonging to the Spanish mayor he wondered how he
> could afford such a house. The Spaniard said; "You see that bridge over
> there? The EU gave us a grant to build a four-lane bridge, but by
> building a single lane bridge with traffic lights at either end this
> house could be built".
>
>The following year the Spaniard visited the Greek town. He was
> simply amazed at the Greek Mayor's house, gold taps, marble floors, it
> was marvellous. When he asked how this could be afforded the Greek
> said; "You see that bridge over there?"
>
> The Spaniard replied; "No."
