Strangely enough I got the Soccer humour right away. But I'm German...
I think maybe if they used Manchester United instead of the German national team it may have been more obvious as they get undeserved penalties for them all the time. Unless of course you are a Man U supporter then they don't get enough...

I admit gas is easy, but I prefer traditional coal roasting.

I worked in a coal, gas and oil power generating station and brought some clean burning coal home and put it in my fire place. It didn't take much to get a super hot fire. The place was build in 1903 , one of the first powerhouses in the country. The place was like a working museum.

Finnish humor can be quite racy. Consider one of the country's top comedians is World Champion F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen.

And, from here:

Chocolate so good it hurts?
Try a Tupla NutKick. "Tupla" means "Double". It's a brave man who asks the shop-keeper for 3 Double NutKicks.

  • I'm awfully sorry... was that your ferret?
    Oho! Tota noin.. Eihän se vaa ollu' sun ajokoira?
  • Is it true that in Finnish Christmas tradition, Santa Claus used to be a wild boar that would eat children?
    Onko totta, että suomalaisessa jouluperinteessä joulupukki oli lapsia syövä villisika?

I went out of my way to enable Scandinavian letters so I'm glad all that hard work paid off. *








* I absolutely did zero work - the new software does it by default.

I'm invited to tell schoolchildren how it is when you're unemployed.

You know it is grand ! You can watch tv all day and drink beer.
I'll be unemployed when I grow up!
Me too!

How was it?
They say I rotted the moral of the youth in Finland.

Not all homosexuals want to step out of closet and be part of society . . .

We practice our sexuality hiding in parks and toilets !

But why in MY toilet ?

- I have never eaten a rabbit that tastes this good!

- We have eaten thousands of rabbits! How come this one is so special?

- Maybe it is this atmosphere. It is like a spice.
