...Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!"

1. Okay
Donald Rumsfeld gir Presidenten hans daglig briefing. Han konkluderer ved ordspråk: "Igår, 3 Brazilian soldater drepte."

"Å INGEN!" Presidenten utbryter. "Det er forferdelig!"

Hans stab sitter bedøvet på denne utstilling av følelse, nervøst vokte da Presidenten sitter, hode i hender.

Til slutt, Presidenten slår opp og spør, "hvor mange er en brazillion?"

3. There pretty much the same aren't they?
:hide:

Yeah, stupid Free Translations didn't have English to Swedish. :(

(and if my 100% Norwegian great-grandmother were alive today, she'd cuff me upside the head for saying Swedish and Norwegian were the same thing)

4. Different letters
But they are pretty similar. My Swedish grandparents would be cuffing me upside the head for the same thing. :D

6. That's right. The a with the circle-thingy above it throws me
I also have a Swedish great-grandparent on that side of the family, too, which does not help matters. But that's what you get, being from Minnesota.

Maybe I should call Sugar Smack's dad. He speaks not only Norwegian and Swedish, but Icelandic and a dozen or so other languages. He'd probably have better Sven and Ole jokes too, for that matter. :silly:

10. Anybody know where that quote is from?
And no, it's not George W. Bush, nor is it Dag Hammerskjold.
