"Tirana, Albania (AHN) - After thirty Scandinavian women went topless on an Albanian beach resort, the Albanian police were left speechless.
A local newspaper in the town of Sarande said, "Police only watched ... they could not approach the tourists because they spoke no English."

just kidding!!!!! :-)
Muslim 70%, Albanian Orthodox 20%, Roman Catholic 10%...CIA.
"Scandanavian"? And they spoke english? So I am assuming Scandanvian=white, tall, and strong features...and big boobs as apposed to acually being from Scandanavia?
I sympothise with the Albanions; I would want my kids being carefull on what they were seeing. I have a sick feeling they were American and drunk.
I think the police could not speak English.
Thats what I am saying, why would they need to speak English to communicate with women from Scandanavia? Wouldn't it be they can't speak Norwegion or Swedish? That leaves me to conclude they were Scandanavian in looks.
I see, but it is well known that in Europe most people with any education know English. It's kinda interesting as there are many married couples where one person is German for instance, but the other is Polish. Neither speak the other's native language but they communicate with each other in English.
While Spanish may someday become the US language, English is thriving as the international language of choice throughout the world.
My wife is much better looking.
From a previous story on whay I assume is the same incident:

A Swedish tourist caused a military alert in an Albanian village when she decided to indulge in a bit of topless sunbathing.
The woman was part of a tourist group that stopped by at the beach. According to Aftonbladet, Albanian women on the beach fled with their children and called the police, shocked by the sight of the scantily clad tourist.
A military patrol was sent to the scene, the paper quoted Italian daily Corriere della Sera as reporting. The soldiers were unable to do anything, however, as they couldn't communicate with the woman.

BTW: Scandinavians generally speak English quite well, and English is the "International" language. If I run into an Albanian my best hope is that he/she knows English, as the odds of that person being fluent in any of the Scandinavian languages is quite small.
Cheers.
This is funny as all git out!
Damn that must piss off the French!
Anyway, I am relieved it wasn't bunch of drunk American women. I love my country, I love my people, but I cringe when I hear stories about how lame they were acting in some foreign part of the world.
Daaay-yum. Then what are you doing at this time of night, typing at a stupid computer?!?!?

Ten percent of the population of Albania are CIA?
