In Greece, weddings, parties and karate lessons would become tax deductible under a new law aimed at cracking down on rampant tax evasion and reducing the country's fiscal deficit.
Presenting the draft legislation, the Greek Minister of Finance said yesterday more personal expenses will be tax deductible to encourage Greeks to ask for more receipts.
"Cracking down on tax evasion is a top priority: it is a phenomenon that results in social injustice and constitutes a very serious crime," he said.

Hes Really Nice Really
How far out is it possible to get? I mean, consider a statement from this dude's girlfriend: "He's really nice unless you provoke him," (she said before leaving the courthouse with a friend). Oh well, we just have to make sure that no one (like the police, or law-abiding citizens) provokes him then ...
I'm glad Mr. Lykourinous stepped in - I'd rather call this gentleman really nice!
Story:
Massachusetts -- When 39-year-old Vasileios Lykourinos from Foxboro saw a police officer fall in a violent struggle during a traffic stop Wednesday, he thought of a New Hampshire police officer killed in the line of duty just five days earlier.
Lykourinos said he stopped his car and ran after the suspect, who had fled into back yards near city hall.
"Me and another citizen started running after the guy," Lykourinos said. The suspect and the two pursuers jumped over four or five fences before Lykourinos caught up with him. "After the last fence I jumped on the guy," he said.
A black belt in karate and a wrestler in his native Greece, Lykourinos said he put the man in a head lock and held on until police officers arrived.

Those ninja...
A 49-year-old Greek bank robber armed with ninja throwing stars finally ran out of moves on Tuesday when police arrested him after an Athens bank robbery.
The man had held up 11 small suburban bank branches making away with 50,000 euros ($63,590) in recent months, threatening to throw his razor-sharp, palm-size stars -- made famous by the Japanese ninja warriors -- at cashiers, police said.
His luck ran out when undercover policemen at the last bank he robbed followed him home and arrested him with his loot, his throwing stars, a fake gun and a list of other bank branches.
