Pana Unpaved



In a new job creation drive the government has provided Cork unemployed men with
the option of breaking up Patrick Street. The men are now employed to unpave the
street which was paved only a few years ago after the torturous and unforgettable
main drainage scheme.

Metal cages have
been erected at random places on Cork's main street to protect the workers from
the public and annoying teenagers selling PAWS soft toys.

Taking Pana apart and putting it back together is a unique and clever way to provide sustainable jobs.

Angry citizens
have been unable to lynch the workers who are taking the street apart piece
by piece causing traffic chaos in the city centre.

The scheme has
delighted the Fianna Fail led government whose employment policy may
now switch to taking the country apart to provide jobs. A government spokesprick
said:

Cage 23 blocks traffic from the north

"Not only
will we be able to employ people to take the nation's infrastructure apart but
when we have reduced it to pre-1994* levels we will be able to provide jobs
to build it all back up again".

"We're
calling it a positive catch-22 situation. Instead of demolishing something you
take it apart very carefully so you can use all the parts again. A bit like
control+z in Microsoft Word."



Fianna Fail now hopes that thousands of jobs will be created by deconstructing
projects like the Elysian, the Kinsale Road Roundabout flyover, Opera Avenue
and the 'new' Merchants Quay shopping centre constructed in the mid-nineties.
