JOKES OF THE MONTH
Dreaming big in Bulgarian politics and how the public contracts work
Caesar of Macedon
Bulgaria Without Censorship's Nikolay Barekov went to see a clairvoyant, and asked: "Tell me, madam, will I become prime minister?"
The old woman looked at him from head to toe, touched his forehead, looked at his tongue and his eyeballs, took his pulse, and said: "You will, son, you will. You will also become Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great..."
Bulgarian Public Contracts
A businessman went to apply for a government contract under the Public Contract Acts. The clerk looked at his application and asked,
"Does your company have 10 years of experience?"
"Yes," the businessman answered.
The clerk put down a note, and asked again:
"Your company has already won 15 government contracts which it has completed successfully, right?"
"Yes," the businessman answered.
The clerk paused, wiped his forehead, and inquired, "Does your company have foreign consultants?"
"Yes," the businessman replied.
The clerk sighed, shook his head, and looked at the businessman over his glasses:
"I'm sorry, but we cannot even admit you to take part in the competition."
"But why?" the businessman asked in amazement. "What condition do we not fulfil?"
The clerk put his finger down on the application. "Well, you fail the most important condition."
"And what is it?" the businessman inquired.
"The name of the manager of your company is not Gadyo Vutov Gadev."
