India ordered to return money

Citing the fact that the country was "used to living without two pennies to rub together", the IMF and G8 leaders gave India until the end of the year to return the money it had been "looking after" for the West.
Thank you, come again
"We appreciate and thank India for looking after our nations' cash and, to lesser-extent, customer-service calls, but now it is only fair that India returns the money to its rightful owners," president Nicholas Sarkozy of France, current holder of the EU presidency, announced on Tuesday.
"I'm sure Delhi will agree that the sub-continent has a long association with poverty and the brief flush of cash it has experienced in the past decade is nothing compared with it's history of lack of wealth.
"It's an anomaly we should soon correct," he added.
But they like being poor, Emily
With the IMF and World Bank forecasting slumps not seen in the West since the 1930s, Bank of England governor Mervyn King said that the only way to stop a return to Euro-American poverty was to outsource the crisis to India.
"Indian labour standards what they are, they could make the decade-long crisis last only five, six years top out there," he stated.
Britain and most other Western nations outsourced child poverty there after the war, giving hope a similar thing would work today.
Stereotypical, unfunny racist remark
President George Bush of the US added his voice saying that "it was about time those darn Injuns gave back all the beads and firewater we traded with them for a country that's now as cash-strapped as a brothel up Brokeback Mountain".
India has not reacted well to the news, with prime minister Manmohan Singh declaring that "the West can shove its demands for money up its overfed, oversized arse, innit".
"Why do you think we never signed up to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty when we made our bombs, for the fun of it?" he cheerfully added.
