Swedish Chef
Steve here. My girlfriend came home from a two week vacation and I was updating her on everything that had happened while she was away. Of course, since I broke my toe right after she left, almost nothing had happened, because I’d barely left the house. But I did talk to a Swedish woman.
I told her about this. I said, “while you were away, I talked to a Swedish woman.” She wasn’t sure what to do with that. When I was talking to the Swedish woman, I asked her if they played the Swedish Chef sketches from the Muppet Show in Sweden. She replied, “Of course! Bork, bork, bork!” I’m not sure why, but that impressed me.
I mean, Swedish people must have a fairly good sense of humour. Most countries wouldn’t I don’t think. For example, if it were the German Chef, or the French Chef, or the Canadian Chef, we probably wouldn’t take it with such good humour. People make fun of how Canadian’s talk all the time and it just drives us crazy. No doot aboot it.
So I salute the Swedish people for their general laid back attitude and relaxed approach to life. Granted, I’ve only ever met one Swedish person, but she seemed very nice:)
Maybe I broke my head too…
