FREEDOM OF SPEECH

The Spanish Prime Minister got really worried about the last news he was receiving from his Minister:

"Sir, the demonstrators have found the way to put banners on the Moon to protest against our Government".

The Prime Minister scratched his beard. He was aware that it would be impossible to send a police patrol to the Moon to dismantle the banners. It had been hard to place a policeman on every ten square metres throughout the country, but to send them to the moon was virtually impossible.

"How did you find out they have reached the Moon?", asked the PM.

The minister produced a pocket telescope. It had to be directed to the Moon. Then the banners could be perfectly read on the satellite surface.

"Shit", pronounced the PM, who was certainly unable to imagine that nobody had set foot on the Moon to protest, but had imported those telescopes from China, so that when they were directed to the full-moon, they showed the banners against the Government, which in fact were etched on the telescope glass.
