Dear Swedes

[SekoETC]

I remember doing this test online that was called political correctness for some reason, but anyway, one of the questions was how would you react if you were in a football (soccer) club and the coach said it's time to practice falling. At first I was like well sure, it's important to know how to fall properly, like in judo or skating. And then I realized that it meant falling spectacularly if someone even brushes you, to fake injury in order to get a penalty for the rival team. I think that's crooked. Some people fall over even though there was no impact. Or a person gets kicked in the shin and falls down holding his head! O_O I think if there is no notable injury, there should be no penalty either. But if the person develops a bruise after the game in the same spot where they got kicked then the violent player could be punished in the next game. We were taught in school that if there is no blood, it cannot hurt. Wise those PE teachers.

Tough teachers those huh? So...religion teacher also weared a red hood and used to burn the hand of your little friend who didn't pray with a hot cross?

Soccer = Sack taps galore.

I never get tired of watching this:



Although from a hit that most of us would probably get up right away from to swear at the other person, the guy in red probably got stretchered off and had to take the next 2 weeks off work.

It looks like his head is almost ripped off!

This proves that soccer is dangerous. Especially watching too much soccer. Think of the children!

I was in the same public sauna yesterday, and this time I saw a very smart man.

He had taken a toothbrush and some toothpaste with him to the showers.
He brushed his teeth at the same time as he cleaned the rest of his body. He didn't care whether it is normal. He just brushed his teeth while he was showering himself, and I bet his teeth were very clean when he left. No need to brush them at home anymore.

All-in-one... Astounding brilliance! The existence of such smart people put me in a good mood.

[Dust Puppy]

He brushed his teeth, huh? Did he have a bruised shin? It´s so obvious what happened... he had been kicked by a Swede and planned to bite someone on the way home!

Which means he had to brush his teeth again at home. But at least his victim was bitten with clean teeth. If only more people showed such laudable consideration for their victims!

[aaeeiio]

Hmm, so it's like a chain reaction. The Swedes try to bite people in the neck, and when they fail, they get the urge to kick people in their legs... And the victims of the Swedish leg-kicking, on the other hand, go and bite people.

It's very possible. I guess you have to brush your teeth quite often if you do a lot of mammal-biting. Mammals can be tough, so your teeth need to be in good condition.
I never really considered it, I must admit. He didn't look like a guy who would be into biting mammals. You never know, though.

Did the dog who tried to bite you have clean teeth?

I didn´t really bother to check. If his owners are anything to go by, probably not.

Exactly. Never judge a book by its cover...
I wonder if the owners of public saunas are aware of this dangerous chain reaction? They should ask their visitors to wear a muzzle. And a gag for politicians and parents. No wait, that would belong in the "perfect society" thread. Sorry. Safety first! Especially as the heat and moisture makes people softer and easier to bite. I guess.
