Funny, I've heard that or something similar before. On my checklist of things I wanted to do after I retired was work a Alaskan fishing boat. So I'm told there only one guy who will hire a geezer like me. A Finn in Astoria. So I track him down to a bar and for two hours get a history on that part of the world. The old Captain drank a bit!

I just got back from working in the fishing industry up in Dutch Harbor on the Bering Sea. Well, actually its been a couple of years. Loved it.
My grandpappy from Denmark used to recite that diddy. The Swedes and Danes have a mutual dislike for one another. Not surprised a Finn would have similar sentiments, considering Sweden ruled Finnland for several centuries and the old aristocracy in Finnland was Swedish until just before WWII.
