FINNISH HUMOUR : an example
I was reminded yesterday of a fairly long-lasting joke here in Finland. It concerns trousers and culture. Anyway damn the academic stuff let me get straight to the point in a Finland that is famous for having trousers worn so low down to the bum that the first stage of the moon is always seen to be rising.
So the Finnish joke is this :-
Question : Why do Finns wear braces.
Answer : To keep their trousers up.
Question : Why do Swedes have a head?
Answer : To stop their braces getting twisted.

Both wine and bread at confirmation were fake and this small site might just attract others that experienced the same. Critical voices? Those that participate? Who knows. For those that find sympathy with a walk on the wild sides of life, mountains, rivers or forests but do not pretend to escape. Other bits and pieces the news and also odds and sods that cry out "leave it off mate". Justly a lark and maybe the lark. But the lark will often land on the cactus.

I heard a lot of Finnish jokes when I was recording in Norway.
Once I am back on my own computer I will regale you with a quickie.
Any jokes about Lapland are banned.
It hurts mt self-esteem.
But jokes about Norway then that would be something to look forward to.
Went to Oslo once.
I was aksed why.
Did you ever visit the "Leopard Club" in Bergen ( shit that could have been Oslo or even Statoilbanger). Anyway it was called then the Leopard Club.
When you came out during summer you did not know if it was day or night or even which f....g day it was.
Nice place Norway.
Trousers and culture? That'll be a happy day.
Keep on Trousers I say.
To write is something.
Played in Teatrekafeen Club in Bergen.
Didn't know what day of the week it was - never mind what time.
Hic.
Oooops, the joke, nearly forgot.

Finnish man is fishing.
And drinking.
And fishing.
And drinking.
And drinking.
And drinking.
Catches an eel.
And sticks it in his pocket.
And drinks and drinks and drinks.
Needs a pee.
He's so pissed this causes some difficulty.
By mistake, he unzips his pocket and pulls out the eel.
Hic.
By my beard, he says.
I knew it was long.
I knew it was thick.
I knew it was slimy.
Jeezus, never realised it had brown eyes.
.............
As told to me by the famous Cato Sanden himself.
Bergen, 1983.
No eels in the Burrow.
By Order
