Finnish drinking game
There are two versions of this game for Finns; regular and advanced.

Regular: Three Finnish guys go into the sauna, each with half a litre of Kossu (Finland's famous Koskenkorva vodka). They each drink the vodka, and then one guy goes outside. The other two have to guess who went outside....

Advanced: TWO Finnish guys go into the sauna, each with a litre of Kossu. They each drink the vodka, and then one guy goes outside. The other guy has to guess who went outside....

The following are Swedish jokes, but Finns like them!
Construction workers
Three construction workers, an Australian, a Finn and a Swede, are sitting on a beam on the tenth floor about to have their lunch.
The Australian opens his lunch box and says "Bloody hell - meat pies again! Every day it's bloody meat pies! If I get meat pies again tomorrow, I'm going to jump!"
The Finn opens up his lunch next. "Saatana! Makkara (sausage) again! Always sausages! If I get sausage tomorrow, I'm gonna jump too!"
The Swede is the last to open up his lunch. "Ah crap - meatballs again! Why always meatballs? If I get meatballs tomorrow, I'm going to jump too!"
The next day the Aussie opens his lunch box and it's a meat pie... He jumps to his death.
The Finn opens his lunch box and, yes, it's a sausage. He too jumps to his death.
The Swede opens his lunch and sadly there's a pile of meatballs, so he jumps too.
The three widows of the construction workers are talking at the funeral and the Aussie's wife says "I don't understand. I thought my husband loved meat pies! If he didn't want them he should have said something!"
The Finnish widow says "Same here - I thought my husband wanted sausages! Why didn't he say something?"
The Swede's widow says, "I don't get it... my husband made his own lunch."


Technology
An American, a Finn and a Swede are in the sauna together. Suddenly there is a "beep beep" sound, and the American starts to look at the palm of his hand.
"What are you doing?" asks the Finn. The American replies
"This is the latest Motorola technology. I've got my pager embedded in the palm of my hand, so I don't have to carry it around any more."
Then the familiar old Nokia ring tone is heard, and the Finn starts looking at the palm of his hand.
"What are you doing?" ask the other guys. The Finn replies
"This is the latest Nokia technology. I've got my mobile phone embedded in the palm of my hand, so I don't have to carry it around any more."
The Swede thinks to himself that he'd better not be outdone by these guys, so he leaves the sauna. In a couple of minutes he returns, and there is toilet paper hanging out of his bum!
"What the hell is that??" shout the other guys in unison.
"I'm getting a fax." says the Swede.

Dowly is just too cool for Finland. :|\\ And anyhow they know he has the biggest collection of.................:shifty: Moving on, Dowly is just the right cool person Norway needs. :cool: :yep:

Wackos, all of you. :rotfl:

@GOZO, no need to say the Sweden+Baltic Sea when explaing what's between us & Norway. Just say NOI (Nothing of Importance), much easier and faster. ;)

Right, carry on. :up:

I'm proud to say the Subsim forums have been up and running for a full week without interruption, disaster, or catastrophe. This could be due in part or full to the new hampster recently brought in to power the Subsim server generator.

This hamster was made possible by a donation from Mr. Dowly. You too can do your part to keep the little fellow (hamster, not Dowly) fed, groomed, alive and kicking. There's a small "Make a Donation" button in the top right of this forum--yes! that's it, there--and your support is appreciated.

Now, to go out and enjoy a little Texas subshine, er, sunshine. :ping:

Onkel Neal

Could we make a double donation: feed the hamster and keep Dowly fed, groomed and alive?
