Fun fact: If you shout "I WANTED PENIS!" when presented with your order at a restaurant, 9 times out of 10 they WILL call the police. 1 out of 10 times, you're either in a Denny's or a Waffle House, and that's not even the worst thing to happen in the last hour.

I wonder: if somebody wore a shirt that said "I found Jesus. He was behind the sofa the whole time," would Nordics get the joke, or would they assume there's a weird American branch of Christianity in which sofas qualify as holy sites?
