Well I guess he could have used them for toilet paper
In a sign of the future for the great southern land under the Dear Leader Comrade Kevin comes a cautionary tale of what we can expect.
A PROFESSIONAL hunter has been arrested on suspicion he turned Zimbabwean bank notes into business cards and handed them out at a tourism fair.
As usual, the real money quote comes from some pointless functionary whose normal job involves writing emails from Nigeria.
The Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA) alleges he distributed more than 10,000 stamped notes, the Herald said.
“The ZTA alleges that Paul had discouraged foreign tour operators from coming to Zimbabwe while claiming that the country’s currency was so useless that it was only fit to be used as business cards,” it said.
Personally, I think the strangest part of the whole story is the fact that there is a Zimbabwe Tourism Authority at all. Seriously, unless you ar some kind of UN horror pervert, who the hell else would want to go see a moving car crash of a country. I think I would be less shocked if Kim Jong Il decided to set up a Tourism Bureau for his celebration of despotic stupidity.
“Personally, I think the strangest part of the whole story is the fact that there is a Zimbabwe Tourism Authority…”
100% correct, half the population is desperately trying to get out of the place, there can’t possibly be any tourism industry left there.
