O, Those Finns...
Sent by a Finnish friend-of-a-friend.
Finns...
15°C - It will never get warmer than this in Finland, so let's start
here; the Spanish put on their hats, winter jackets and gloves. The
Finns are sunbathing.
10°C - The French desperately try to start the central heating in their
houses. The Finns plant flowers in the garden.
5°C - Italian cars won't start. The Finns are cruising in cabriolets.
0°C - Distilled water freezes. The water in Aura å (the stream in Åbo)
gets a little thicker.
-5°C - People in California get frostbites. The Finns have their last
barbecue before winter.
-10°C - The English turn on the heating in their houses. The Finns start
wearing long sleeved sweaters.
-20°C - Australians escape from Mallorca. Finns stop celebrating
midsummer. The autumn has come.
-30°C - People in Greece freeze to death and the Finns start drying
laundry inside.
-40°C - Paris cracks to pieces in the cold. The Finns are queuing at the
hot dog-stand.
-50°C - The polar bears evacuate the North Pole. The Finnish army
postpones their winter survival camp, in hope of real winter weather.
-60°C - Korvatunturi freezes over. The Finns rent a video and stay inside.
-70°C - The fake Santa Claus moves south. The Finns get frustrated
because they can't store Koskenkorva outside anymore. The Finnish army
starts their survival course.
-183°C - The microbes in food can't survive. The Finnish cows complain
about the cold fingers of the farmers.
-273 - ALL atom-based movement stop. The Finns start saying 'Perkele, it
feels cold outdoors today!'
-300°C - Hell freezes over. The Finns win the Eurovision Song Contest.
