We had this legend of a lecturer at my Uni (before he retired a few months ago) he was a complete looney, but an engineering genius. He would write down all this wierd info on the board about a few EU coutries; unemployment, GDP, average wages, growth, etc. and when finished would just shout 'This Is Why The Euro Doesn't Work!!'.

His theories on scrapping the rail network were so funny, and made sense too.
('What do you do when you get off a train? You get in a car! Build more roads!!')
