They are about some Greeks, but not about the majority. But we ARE disorganised. Pretty much all of us.

Let me tell you a joke about this characteristic. A guy dies and goes to hell. The devil tells him that hell is divided into countries and that he can choose any country’s hell to live in. The guy visits the English hell, and finds out that people there have to swim all day long in a big pool of… excrement! He says “no thanks” and visits the German hell. Unfortunately, there too he learns that he will have to swim in the same pool. Finally he visits the Greek hell, where everyone is singing and having a great time. He asks someone “What’s going on here? Don’t you have to swim in a pool full of excrement?” And the other guy replies: “Well, you know how it is in Greece. The government keeps forgetting to fill the pool up!”

Constantina, I believe this joke could also apply to archaeology, only without the excrement part…
