BUENOS AIRES (Reuterus) - Felisa Miceli has resigned as Argentina's chief economist amid scrutiny as to why she hid a large stash of US dollars and Argentine pesos in her office toilet.
Scrambling for a plausible explanation, she claimed that the suspect funds were given to her by her brother in order to buy a house. To be fair the going rate for government-contracted toilet seats in the 1980's sometimes did exceed $600, which might indicate that Miceli actually knows something about the future of porcelain toilet furnishings that the rest of us do not.
To avoid further embarrassment Miceli resigned her position effective Monday, July 16th. However, one lingering question remains: Why did she always leave the seat in the up position?
