My own EU summit meeting jokes

Just a few of my own jokes based on the sentiment expressed by some financial investors that the decisions which were made at the recent EU summit meeting in Brussels won’t solve the immediate EU financial crisis but they might solve the crisis in the long term, although apparently even this is doubtful.

This gave me an idea to invent a few jokes or hopefully funny stories about solutions that don’t solve the immediate problem but might possibly solve the problem in the long term.
Ok, here goes.

The trapped in the toilet joke

Someone is trapped in a toilet because the lock has jammed and someone else advises him that although a spare key isn’t available and the company that made the lock has now gone out of business there’s a retired locksmith that used to work for the company who might have a spare key if he has one it’s somewhere in his workshop that’s if he can even remember that he has a workshop because he’s nearly 100 years old and a resident in a nursing home in fact come to think of it he might not even be able to remember that he was once a locksmith.

The ‘plane nearly out of fuel joke

Or this.
There’s a pilot flying a ‘plane that is nearly out of aviation fuel and he radios for help and the control tower advises him that the reason for this is the airline only put a gallon of fuel in the tank due to the price of aviation fuel but if he can just hang in there until the price of aviation fuel drops that’s if and when the current tensions in the Middle East ease of course the airline will be in a financial position to refuel the ‘plane.

The little Dutch boy joke

Finally, there is of course the fable of the little Dutch boy who plugs a hole in a canal dyke to prevent the waters of the canal from pouring through the hole and flooding Holland.
The EU advises him that he has no right to be plugging holes in dykes and saving Holland from flooding because the hole is not of the correct EU approved size.
However, if he can just wait for a few years ie. spend most of his childhood and schooldays with his finger stuck in the hole (distance learning might be useful here) the the EU might consider passing legislation that might approve this particular size of hole (what size was it again?)
