Finland wins the Eurovision Song Contest

Haha, Lol.

Didn't your father told you the truth: Your mum is always right!

Nice jokes Lana, are you from Finland???

It's funnt that you mention the Eurovision song contest. People here (in Malta) take the competition so seriously when everyone knows it's just a joke.

No, I'm not from Finland, that's why I apologized at the beginning. Actually, I don't know anything about the Finns otherwise and have really nothing against them, but this joke isn't that offensive, I think. It's more about the weather than it is about people themselves. I can post some jokes about my country as well, if you'd like to see them, but it'll take some time.

As a Finn I can assure you that the joke is hilarious and not offensive in any way.
