Summarization of the article:

"We are absolutely incompetent. We are trying to get more money and 
power, so we'll feel better about it."

"Křesťanství se spojilo s Islámem na základě dohody papeže s ajatoláhem a vzniklo nové náboženství - Křeslám. Jeho 
posvátnou knihou je směs Bible a Koránu - Biblán. Tím si představitelé obou církví zajistili téměř výlučný monopol v 
oblasti pojištění posmrtného života a zároveň oslabili pozici konkurenčních pojišťoven tohoto druhu. Byl to prozíravý 
tah!" (Sir Morfius)
