Many many decades ago they invented the toilet seat which was a huge improvement over sitting on a log to relieve themselves. Some years later this wonderful invention migrated to Finland. And the Finns were finally impressed that the Swedes could actually produce something of value. The Finns decided that it was such a great device that they would adopt it as their own by making one small improvement to it and adding a hole to the middle of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754764209917053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896195978622826735.post-86579833935052807202014-08-05T17:25:33.416+01:002014-08-05T17:25:33.416+01:00I remember a joke that went something like this:

There's a competition as to which is more beautiful: Finnish or Swedish languages? The example of Finnish beauty: "Saari, saari, heina, saari" (an island, an island, with hay, an island). In Swedish that's "eu, eu, heu, eu." (or so I understood the pronunciation, spelling???) <br /><br />This will make Finns laugh out loud at the eu-heu Swedes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896195978622826735.post-87076112924222809582012-03-02T19:15:04.266+00:002012-03-02T19:15:04.266+00:00These were some great swedish jokes, thanks!
