"Mr President, I do not think there is any harm in making people smile while explaining the reasons for one’s vote. I voted for the report which proposes to appoint Mr Lucas Papademos Vice-President of the European Central Bank. Why did I vote for the report, Mr President? Well, I had another dream last night. I dreamt that I was invited to lunch at Lucas Papademos’ house – in Athens, of course – and that he let me take a bathe with him in his swimming pool, but the pool contained euro coins, not water. Like Uncle Scrooge, he was swimming in euro coins, and he said to me: ‘My dream is that all the candidate countries will adopt the euro immediately: indeed, the whole world should adopt the euro.’ So, Mr President, what better candidate could there be than Lucas Papademos? Moreover, when I woke up, I found that my pockets were full of euros because I had gone swimming with all my clothes on, being too embarrassed to take my clothes off among the euro coins."@en1
