At night, in an Athens street Christine Lagarde meets Diogenes

Christine Lagarde

Diogenes by John William Waterhouse, depicting his lamp, tub, and diet of onions


Diogenes: Fancy seeing you here in Athens, didn't recognise you - you are usually in such fine silks.

Lagarde: I am in disguise

Diogenes: Why?

Lagarde:  I am looking for someone who has paid their taxes. Why are you carrying that lamp?

Diogenes: I am seeking an honest man.


(PS this is all very tongue in cheek, I am sure there are many Greeks who pay their taxes and are honest citizens)
