    PRAGUE (AP) — The Czech Finance Ministry says Cuba has offered an unusual way of repaying its Cold War-era debt — its trademark rum.

    Finance Ministry spokesman Michal Zurovec said Thursday that Cuban authorities have proposed to pay back $276 million to the Czech Republic from the time both countries were part of the communist bloc.

    If that proposal becomes reality, the Czech would have enough Cuban rum for well over a century. According to the Czech Statistics Office, the Czechs imported rum from Cuba worth over $2 million last year.
    Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

      There was a perfectly good "Czech payments" or "Over a barrel" pun available here. But you squandered it.

          I believe Rum will hold value better than Euros over next century.

            Even the best rum loses its value once drunk,
            While most people become more interesting when drunk...
            There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                Maybe Greece could try paying back their debt in Ouzo. Personally, I'd rather have olive oil, pistachios, and wine.
