"And on the 8th day God created Finns because also Swedes need heroes."

My father's family was Finnish...he spoke Finnish before English, but swore to me that he didn't remember a word of the former by the time I came around.
This reminds me of a letter I found, sent to my dad by his mother while he was away with the Army in WWII.
She told him about something dramatic that had taken place in her neighborhood that had caused injuries, maybe a fire or something like that...the following is my paraphrase.
"Unfortunately, several people were hurt.
Also some Swedes."
 
Funny! Back in high school, my family hosted an exchange student from Finland and Sweden, so naturally, I shared the photo of the shirt with them :)
 
I emailed the photo to my all Swedish colleagues. It's been a fairly quiet day after that.

I'll bet the Finns and Swedes both make fun of Norwegians for eating lutefisk.

My mother was a weegie and I left the house whenever she was boiling that vile stuff up. I would grab some lefse and butter on the way out, though.
