Wanna be a Norwegian???

Top ten reasons for being Norwegian (dead serious)

1. You don't have to drive over 90 km/h.
The fart limit in Norway is 90 at the most. (fart=speed)

2. More native people living in the capital than there should be.

3. You can cut brown cheese with a cheese slicer.
Yes, we do like Brownie, we've even made our own version of it. Goat- or brown-cheese.
And we invented something to cut it with, the cheese slicer. Fortunatly it works just as well with the old-fashion cheese.


4. You can worship Oddvar BrĂ¥ as a national hero, and still the world has no idea what you're talking about.
No need to explain, you would not understand anyway.

5. Can make a five words long sentences just by two different letters. "D E D D E"


6. You can confuse Americans by telling them that polar-bears walk around free in the streets.
It's a fact, but now you don't see them very often, they're a dying rase.

7. We don’t need to learn too many big cities (we don’t have so many).
Nowadays every little village get status as a city. Even if they're so
small that no one has ever heard of them.

Anybody knows where this is?
8. We don't have to pay for the famous Voss water, it rains down on us.
Yes, it rains a lot in Norway, so why dont sell it?

9. You can always work at Fatland if your grades doesn't hold.
Under-educated meatworkers is what keeps this country running.

10. 1000 years ago the Norwegian recived great respect.
You've all heard of the Vikings, and yes, they were our ancestors.
