It is a slow day in a little Greek village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt and everybody lives on credit.

On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a 100 Euro note on the front desk, telling the owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night in. The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the 100 Euro note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher............

The butcher takes the 100 Euro note and runs down the street to pay his debt to the pig farmer..........The pig farmer takes the 100 Euro note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.........The guy at the Farmers Co-op takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the local taverna.....The publican slips the money along the counter to the local prostitute drinking at the bar who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him her services 'on credit'.......The hooker then rushes to the hotel to pay off her room bill to the hotel owner with the 100 Euro note. The hotel proprietor then places the 100 Euro note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything......
