Like Money You Can Eat!

So remember that time when we were robbing that bank vault that unexpectedly turned out to be filled with cheese? And as we were filling our big canvas bags up with Gouda and Munster and Edam and Provolone and Mozzarella and Brie and Balaton you asked, “Hey, why do you think that this bank vault is filled with cheese?”

And I, my mouth stuffed with a Havarti, replied, “I have no fucking clue.”

Well, friend, after all of these years, I have finally found the answer.
Here it is!

Basically, some banks in Italy have started accepting wheels of Parmesan cheese as collateral against loans. It is an effort to keep the credit markets functioning. They are also considering accepting wine and Prosciutto.

No . . . that’s not a funny. They are actually considering that.

Oh, and if you would like to see an alphabetized list of cheeses, well then today is your lucky day isn't it!
