| #5 Basic introduction to Greece culture for Germans. When a Greek holds up his open palm at you, it means "Go to Hell." Two open palms, "Go to Hell twice." Two palms and the sole of a shoe, "Go to Hell three times." And two palms and two soles means, of course, "four times", but with great emphasis. |

Those tax collectors assume that the Greek police will be like German police, and obey without question, not realizing that the Greek police are little different or more disciplined than the people they will be ordering them to oppress. They will soon realize that the mule is the national bird of Greece. |

| #1 I suppose it would be in ultra bad taste to use the infamous photo of a huge swastika flag blanketing the Parthenon? |
