Undarlegur norskur húmor

Eins og margir vita þá hafa Norsarar nokkuð skondinn húmor sem snýst oft um hversdagslega hluti. Veðrið er mjög mikilvægt umræðuefni meðal manna og margir láta nú smá frosthörkur og manndrápshálku sko ekki stoppa sig frá því að jogga eða hjóla. Norskur rannsóknarfélagi minn sendi mér eftirfarandi "brandara" um það hvernig Norsarar haga sér í mismunandi veðri samanborið við íbúa annarra landa. Maður þarf kannski að hafa kynnst Norsurum eða búið hér til fatta allt djókið:
