Fant denne på nettet, og jeg lo lenge selv om jeg er normann sjøl!
1 ) You start to believe that if it wasn't for Norway's efforts the world
would probably collapse pretty soon.
2 ) You can only buy your own drink at the bar even when you are with a group of people.
3 ) Can't remember to say "please" and "excuse me".
4 ) Always prepare to catch the closing door if following too closely behind
somebody.
5 ) When a stranger on the street smiles at you, you assume that:
a ) he is a drunk
b ) he is insane
c ) he is american
d ) he is all of the above
6 ) Silence is fun.
7 ) You use "mmmm" as a conversation filler.
8 ) You think there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
9 ) You know Norway's results in the last three years in the Melodi Grand Prix song-contest (Eurovision).
10 ) It seems nice to spend a week in a small wooden cottage up the mountains with no running water and no electricity.
11 ) You know at least five different words for describing different kinds of
snow.
12 ) An outside temperature of 9 degrees celsius (ca 45F) is mild in mid June.
13 ) You know the difference between blue and red ski wax.
14 ) You don't fall over when walking on ice.
15 ) You associate Friday afternoon with a trip to Vinmonopolet(government liquor store).
16 ) You think nothing of paying 400 NOK (ca $ 50)on drinks one night.
17 ) You know that "religious holiday" means "lets' get pissed".
18 ) You find yourself more interested in the alcohol content than in the name of the wine.
19 ) You enjoy the taste of lutefisk (jelly-like, bad-smelling fish).
20 ) You think it's acceptable to wrap your hot dog on a cold pancake.
21 ) You associate warm rice porridge with Saturday and Xmas-eve.
22 ) You can prepare fish in five different ways without cooking it.
23 ) You don't question the habit of always making "matpakke" (sandwich in paper).
24 ) It feels natural to wear sport clothes and backpack in the cinema as
everywhere else.
25 ) You find yourself speaking halfway Swedish with Swedes.
26 ) You can't understand why foreigners haven't heard about Bjorn
Daehlie.
27 ) You know the meaning of life has something to do with the word
"koselig" (cozy).
