Loading...Ah, Romanians, you loveable scamps you. I find it infinitely quaint that y’all have become the scourge of Europe. Remember fun gypsies? You know, when you were in 2nd grade and your mom wrapped a scarf around your head and put a bunch of gaudy gold jewelry around your neck and you’d buy some clip on huge gold hoops from Target. The best Halloween costume an 8 year old could come up with in 1981, believe me. The best part was that next year your brother could wear the same costume, add an eyepatch and Bingo! Pirate.
Anyway, I remember when I was traveling around Europe and the people I was traveling with (seasoned Australians who seemed so wise at the time. The best advice they gave me? Don’t eat the birdseed you buy in San Marco Square in Venice because they put birdy birth control in it. Thanks mate!) The advice they gave me when we pulled into Rome was to avoid the Romanian gypsies that are everywhere. They’ll rob you blind! They’ll throw their babies at you to distract you and then rob you blind! If they throw their baby at you, don’t catch it! For the love of God! Don’t catch it!
Now in Norway they want to outlaw begging as a way to put a stop to those Romanian rascals. Will it work? Probably not. How can a country where the Salvation Army is so prevalent outlaw begging? How many santas will be out of work this holiday season?!
This story has 2 bonuses: Great picture of the a quite blond politician and a young Romanian woman holding a baby. Watch out!
