I dont think the uppers and especially the viking people would like to be called a cheese head. Thanks for the heads up. I had to manage/entertain Norwegian and Swedish ironworkers for two years on a heavy project. The Swedes were much more peace minded. The Norwegians would take their clothes off in public and get into fights. They accused each other of making coffee cups with the handle on the inside of the cup. Ended up having to keep them separate for the most part. And neither liked the Finns, they said "the Finn travels with a knife". I was just a good ole boy trying to figure out their dynamics and get the job done. Had no idea there were differences between them and took very little time to figure it out when the job began.

yep there are a lot of differences, they all kind of self segregated when they immigrated and the jokes fly back and forth. The finns get it the worse though. The norwegians are concidered cheap and the swedes are always hiding in the basement of the outhouse to avoid confrontation. I will put an ole and lena joke in the joke section
