Don’t Mess With Finland

A

Aunt Mavis

I have met the enemy and he is us. Pogo
I heard all about The Winter War (1939-1940) from my dad, The Finlander. Finland used motti tactics to trap the Russians and inflict great suffering. All of that’s interesting but the part I remember most is Dad saying “Do you know what the Finns did to the Russian soldiers that mistreated the beautiful Finnish ladies?” “No Dad, what?” “They sent them back to their homeland without their ballbags” he’d finish with. Lol. (Get it, finish) You’ll never read this in the history books but all true, passed down through the generations. Ouch!

This story is in my book. Even if others don’t appreciate it I do, all true as well. Don’t mess with Finns.

He’s the funniest guy ever that’s not trying to be funny. He never goes to the doctor or the dentist, one day he was talking to his buddy and he says “Come see doctor so and so” which was him. He once super glued a broken tooth back together and it lasted for months. Lol.

I am looking forward to reading it one day once it's published.

My last project before "retiring" was in N.Finland and I really enjoyed it. The advice I was given was, never try to out-drink the Finns. As I recall, spirits could only be bought at certain times in state owned shops. Supermarkets did sell ordinary beer and cider.

What book?

My book is 99 percent complete now. No computer, all written with paper and pen. I’m not a fan of computers nor am I very skilled at typing. Next step is finding some poor sap that’ll publish it or learn to do it myself. How hard can it be for a guy that was rated genius as a kid? 141 IQ. I could have gotten the the wrong results back I suppose. Lol.

What's your book about @Aunt Mavis?

It’s my life story with a mixture of my relative’s life stories. In the last couple of months I’ve experienced some things that’ll round it out nicely in my opinion. One example: I asked Mom on her death bed if she’d like to hear my comedy act? She frowned, an exaggerated frown. Lol. You see that’s heartbreaking and funny. Mom was still capable of a cheap shot right to the end. The toughest human being I’ve ever seen period…
 
In all honesty much of it might not be that interesting to many, “the dash” portion is however based on feedback. Not one of my proudest moments at the time but…..
