Drowning Finns

Today is a big party day at least in Finland and in Sweden: Midsummer Day's eve (Juhannus aatto). People rush to drink their arses onto their shoulders (a Finnish saying) by a lake or sea shore.

On sunday's paper there'll be this year's numbers of how many people got drowned. Drowning takes usually place, when a male citizen needs to pee on a small boat in a state of heavy intoxication. The boat starts to rock while the citizen is balancing on his to unsteady feet and terrible accident happens. So, you party people: take a pail with you on the boat and sit down if you have to pee and you'll be fine.
