The Italian bookees in Rome today were busy placing weekend bets on who will devour Belgium first now that the chancellor of Germany has decommissioned troops there.
"Is anyone buying the fact that England and France are "at odds?" asked longtime Roman bookee Luigi Perplexi. "What a joke and the rest of Europe knows it. These two are strange bedfellows indeed. But it's only a matter of time before we see whose on top!"
Perplexi joins a growing number of Italian bookees so far upset at the likes of sovereign states such as Russia and Austria poised to carve up the remaining German states into pizza slices while the rest of Europe looks on from the sidelines refusing to place bets.
When asked about Italy's own role in the demise of Germany, local Trestevere grocer Paulo Fettucine responded, "what role? All I do all a day is maka da roles here in my shop. I don't know nuttin bout us sellin our roles to those Germans."
