I once observed, in the 60s, a hundred Swedish men in a fancy Stockholm nightclub, staring straight ahead, not saying a word, since Swedes are unable to hold a conversation, while gloping down one vodka after another, pretty girls all about. "Pretty" is putting it mildly, of course. I danced with a Bridget Bardot, there being no competition. Later in the evening I had even more fun. No-one on God's green earth is thicker than a Swede, but aren't the women lovely? A grand country for a typical Yank with any balls atall. Shitfire, one can't walk down a street in Stockholm without getting an erection every ten minutes. All you have to do is pick one and she's yours for the day. -- Charles Riggs
