Manual of marring a Finn

 "How do you tell if a Finn is an extrovert? He looks at your shoes, not his own!"

A few years back Phil Schwarsmann's book How to Marry a Finnish Girl made a small fuss in Finnish media (practically everything conserning Finland does. We are so worried of what others might think of as :). It's a collection of Schwarsmann's experienses in the land of the thousand lake. It includes weather, Finnish mentality, winter, language and, of course, Finnish women.
   Schwarsmann also list of things to do, if you want to get an Finnish wife, which he gives an 30-Day Guarantee. This include such things as cknowledging Finnish girls superiority compared to Swedish girls, find a one and some pick-up lines, which make Finnish girls giggle, such as this to:

"Put your tongue on my flagpole and see if it sticks."

"No, that's not a Nokia Communicator in my pocket."

Schwarsmann's book is time to time hilarious. He make some clever observations about Finland, which we born-and-bred Finns don't always think about (like enormous secrety concerning baby names).
   I think for those who have not ever been in Finland or meet any Finns, the book might be a bit confusing. But for others (espesially for Finns who doesn't take them selves too seriously) the book can offer many good laughs.
