I'm really bummed out too about DNU1, for every reason you said. I honestly can't even imagine how horrific he feels. I could puke for him. If you go back on his original thread to 4/23, you'll see that I wrote about some concerns I had about his wife's lack of effort in the R, piggy-backed on something MyRev noticed too. I have more thoughts about it too, but I'll keep them to myself. It's all moot now. And it sucks. But I have a joke, wanna hear? I have to post it somewhere before I forget it and I don't think there's any takers on the fun thread. You haven't looked in the last hour, then. I dared you there to tell. Just post it somewhere, for goodness sake!

Anyhoo here it is .... I laughed, and it's a clean one!

the world thinks its funny Except for in Scotland. The Scots don't have a sense of humor. Good single malt whiskey though... And maybe in parts (or most) of Scandinavia since Scandinavians don't have much to laugh about either... Unless of course you aren't Scandinavian... And before anybody has a cow (or some other large farm animal) my mother's maiden name was Peterson. I could sing Du Gamla, Du Fria before I knew The Star Spangled Banner... Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden! Got a wee bit o' Scotch in me too... Some nights a bit more than others... So Ms L4, you gonna clue us in? Zup? Mark

Fakin' it 'till I make it, Mark. And with a smile on my face. I've been told I have a nice smile. I'm Scandanavian with some Scottish in me and yet I'm still confused by your post.   Then again, I prefer Patron over whiskey and Scotch so maybe that's the problem. Translate for me, would ya?

Oooh, Patron. I'm with you there, L4. I'm Irish and Scottish with a wee bit of Dutch and American Indian. I guess I'm just a mutt.
Patron Silver...for the win!!!!!!! ;-)

What part didn't you get?
Seemed straight forward to me.
The Scots have no sense of humor.
Nothing much is funny to the Scandinavians. (if you lived where it snowed 200+ days per year, you wouldn't laugh much either)
I have a book titled Scandinavian Humor and Other Myths
Du Gamla Du Fria is the Swedish national anthem (You ancient, you free)
The quote box is the last line of the song -
"Yes I will live and I will die in Sweden (North)"
And then I used a pun about having a wee bit o Scotch in me...
As in single malt...
Gotta explain everything to dem Norse...(or are you a Svenska Flicka?)
Musta come from down south around Owatonna or Waseca...
Prolly don't even know how to make a decent Tater Tot Hotdish...

I have sent that joke around the world...england, ireland, scottland, australia, nz, america. the world thinks its funny I am feeling stoopid and naive. I have been to Scotland several times. I go to many Scottish games here in the US. My ancestors were very, Very Scottish. I am somewhat gifted at languages. But I have no idea what this joke means, and I think when I find out (somebody please be kind enough to tell me) I will be incredibly embarrassed.

As in single malt... I like good liqua. Even though I don't imbibe in single malt (malts yes, malt no), I got this. Gotta explain everything to dem Norse...(or are you a Svenska Flicka?) Now it makes sense... You're one of them. I'm half Viking. 1/4 Icelandic. The rest Scottish, with a tad of German and English thrown in. I speak English, Canadian, and ein bisschen Deutsch. Let's just say I've never been mistaken for one who tans well. (Pass the SPF 45.) Musta come from down south around Owatonna or Waseca... As in Mi'ni-soh'da? Mom's from North Dakota. Dad's from Manitoba. They all end in "a" so I guess they're all the same. (After M & D married they lived in St. Paul for a bit.) Prolly don't even know how to make a decent Tater Tot Hotdish... OH! No you di'nt!  Now you've gone too far, Mister. It's beyond decent. It's deilig! (Cream of Mushroom soup is an Norwegian-American's best friend.)

At first I was like...huh...well that's not funny. Then, I had an AHA moment. The guy is dead. He won't bring the book back. You know? If that isn't what you meant, well just shoot me now. I was happy to read that I wasn't the only one who was like...huh?

ok ok ok the scotts are "tight" won't spend their money. Therefore he will keep the book so he doesn't have to but one.
Here in England - we might use a different slant and use a Scouser (one from Liverpool). Scousers are of v. low morals and steal lots (so I've been told) so this joke would also work well for them
