History
how Finns arrived in
Finland and how they got separated from their cousins Estonians and
Hungarians.
Thousands of years ago Finns, Estonians and Hungarians were living as
one nation somewhere very far in East, behind the Ural mountains.
One day they got an idea: "Let's go west".
So, they started their journey towards west together.
Somewhere around Poland they came to an intersection where were two
signs:
"South: fertile land, good climate" and "North: No possibilities to
cultivate land;
cold and horrible climate".
Those who could read, went south and those uneducated poor ones went
north.
Once they were on the shore of Baltic Sea, some of the people had
learned to read.
They stopped at a sign "Be aware of weak ice". They stayed in Estonia.
Finns continued, half of them drowned but rest enjoyed swimming in icy
water and survived until the other shore.
There they faced an empty, hostile land where 40% was covered by lakes,
40% by wet and hopeless swamps and bogs and 20% was covered by rocks on
rocks and rocks under the ground surrounded by mighty forests.
For thousands of years since then without thinking Finns were digging
the swamps and forests by hands and carrying the rocks away from burned
forests to give way to some small pitch of land where they could grow
few potatoes and some carrots just to realize the frost in summer made
all effort fruitless.
And they lived their life happy forever without knowing they could have
chosen differently.

A Swede was in a pub in Finland and a regular customer suggested to him:
"I'll give you $200, if you let me smash ten beer bottles on your head."
The Swede thought for a while and finally agreed, partly because of the
peer pressure.
The Finn smashed the first bottle on the Swede's head, then the second
and so on, but he stopped after smashing nine bottles.
"So, when are you going to smash the tenth bottle?," asked the Swede.
"I am not a total idiot," the Finn replied, "then I would have to give
you that $200."
