Learn about Finnish culture through jokes

Received jokes about Finns in the Exchange mailing lists.. Read it here.

Excerpts: -

You know you have been in Finland too long, when...

• You rummage through your plastic bag collection to see which ones you should keep to take to the store and which can be sacrificed to garbage. (Here in Finland, we sort out all the garbage.)
  
• As you walk past the Parliament Building in Helsinki, and see the statue titled "Svinhufvud" you no longer read it as "Swinehead"... instead you think "What a good Swedish name!" (Names are really a headache for me. I live in Yliopistokatu.)
  
• Your idea of unforgivable behavior now includes walking across the street when the light is red and there is no WALK symbol, even though there are no cars in sight. (Finns are really law-abiding, even if there are no cars to be seen on the street and the Red Man is on, they won't cross!)
  
• Sundays no longer seem dull with all the stores closed, and begin to feel restful instead. (What! No shopping on Sundays!)
  
• You accept that 80 degrees centigrade in a sauna is chilly, but 20 degrees centigrade outside is freaking hot. (Yeah 20 degC is pretty hot, what with minus temperatures.)
  
• You know that "religious holiday" means "let's get pissed." (Finns just love to drink... coffee and beer. Yea good ol' beer. Nope, I still hate it.)
