| One. Just one more mulligan. |
In another shocking Euro-zone twist, France has been severely penalised for drawing a less-than-desirable Community Chest card in the great Monopoly game of economics. Despite rolling a double-four and early positive reactions following a near miss of Park Lane (which had a hotel on it), France have incurred a huge $15 penalty.
France are shocked and dismayed to have to pay a Parking Fine directly to the bank, especially in this bleak economic climate. "They could have just let it slide" Nicolas Sarkozy was heard to remark after slowly extracting three crisp $5 from his massive stack of multi-coloured money; "we need that imaginary money to buy another railway station. Why couldn't we have won a crossword competition instead?"
At this point in time, the only official statement from the bank was that France could "suck it", and "stop being massive pussies". When consulted about this huge setback to their country's economy, French locals were said to comment "what's the big deal? It's not real money. My kid eats loose $1 bills if I don't supervise him properly".
