Does Hjemkomst mean homecoming?
- Yes it does.
“Columbus Day Parades (decreasing due to political correctness)”
- Political correctness is THE answer.
Problem: Columbus’s men harmed native Americans.
Solution: America hasn’t yet been discovered
Problem: Einstein wasn’t a perfect family father
Solution: Scrap the Nobel Prize in Physics
Problem: Mozart died in debt
Solution: Tear down Salzburg
Yea, but the Vikings always assimilated after they won.
Yes, I think it does.
