Tjay Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 We all know the one and only Finnish joke about the two friends who went for a drink after work - the punchline being 'Are we here to drink or to talk?' So no need to repeat it here. But a Finnish friend of mine now tells me there is a second Finnish joke! A Finn buys something in Walmart while on holiday in the U.S, and after he has paid, the checkout girl says, as usual, 'Have a nice day'. The Finn replies: 'I am sorry, but I have already made other arrangements'. From a firm supporter of Kimi Raikonen in the F1 championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profevil Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Finns are funny people:-) And i think they can take that joke, aslong as its not about knifes, vodka or the sauna Or Memma;-) And on that note.. Why do Norwegians wear PJs when driving motorcycles? ...-They lay down in the curves... :-D (From a Swede to my brothers in the North ;.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish stereotype joke:Three Irishmen in a pub discussing what the most amazing thing in the world is. One says it's the computer, one says it's the space shuttle and one says it's the thermos flask. 'It's amazing', he says, 'not only can it keep hot drinks hot, it can also keep cold drinks cold'. 'So?', say the others. 'Well', he says, 'How does it know?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish stereotype joke: Here is another: Have you heard the one about a the Audi Quattro? (Can get away with this cos Marko is actually a Brummie. :biggrin:) 5 guys in an Audi Quattro on the Eire / NI Border on a day trip to Wexford. Paddy (Not stereotypical at all ): "Top o' the morning to ya! Sorry Lads yous can't come in today, yous are 5 guys in an Audi Quattro, Quattro means 4." Driver: "Quattro is the name of the car you numpty, go get your supervisor." Paddy: "Sorry Guys, Murphy is busy dealing with 2 guys in a Fiat Uno." Ba-Doom Tish! :biggrin: There are 3 or 4 seasons of "IT Crowd" based on that premise. Indeed there are. I have watched at least 90% of them. I particularly like the episode with a fire, Moss emails the Fire & Rescue Service, compiling at least 3 drafts.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjay Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Love Kimi but man is he dry as heck.LOL That's why I admire him. Makes such a change from the usual aggressive fist-punching finger pointing hysteria of people like Vettel and Hamilton. And anyway, at one point in that video you can actually see him smile. :shocked: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Killjoy Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Love Kimi but man is he dry as heck.LOL That man is fantastic. "Last time you were giving me shit because I didn't smile enough."

Tjay Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 English stereotypical joke. (But can be adapted to the nationality of your choice - perhaps with the exception of Russian). An Englishman walks into a pub and says to the barman, 'Pour me a stiff one - I've just had another bust up with the wife'. 'And how did it go?' replies the barman. 'Well', says the Englishman, 'by the time it was over she had to approach me on all fours'. 'That makes a change', replied the barman, 'did she beg for forgiveness?'. 'Not exactly', says the Engishman, 'what she said was 'Come out from under the bed you spineless little bastard!'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
