      UK, US? Stop pretending like Switzerland is somehow the only country where the rich can hide their wealth.

        I know you swiss are notoriously humorless so I’ll let you in on the secret. That was a joke.

          I’ve always heard that Germans are notoriously humorless. Never heard that about the Swiss.

          Then again, I’ve actually seen German comedians (funny ones). I’ve never heard of Swiss comedians.

            It’s called subversion of expectations. People expected the answer to be The United States. Stating another country that is also known for harboring tax evaders instead of the US is funny.

              Yeah that only works if you would not state a country that everyone always claims to be the worst offender. Answering with US would have actually been funny.
