You drink beer brewed in Canada.

Finlanders buy Canadian beer, unlikely.

Finlander UP Joke:

"Speaking of those steam baths, did you hear that story they tell of the Finnish G.I.
who was captured by some cannibals in the Philippines? They put him in a big pot to
boil and left him there about six hours. Then the cannibal chief lifts up the cover, and
the Finn sticks out his head and says, "What blace is de switches and towel?"


You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from
Northern Michigan.

I was raised in Hancock/Larium/Eagle Harbor, until the tender age of
9-10, then the family moved to Grayling via a number of other places
as Dad was a gypsy road/harbor builder. We settled in Grayling, Dad
bought and ran a jewelry store for nearly 30 yrs, and I graduated from
highschool there. And of course, spent many of my summers in the UP
on the family properties. I left for the military..and have seldom
been back, having lived and worked in 39 states and 5 countries since
then. Ive lived in my current town since 1983.
