Well OK MichaelB. I've teased Alan about this a lot and he's been a jolly good sport.
Please forgive me for posting this again Alan. I'm only doing so now at MichaelB's insistence to dispel any rumors flying around about me and your pants. Last time, I promise.
Now, if you do not mind a curious question. You said that the tax rate is high, and that your salary is nothing to brag about, yet you do have a decent portfolio. Is this "stock market" money tax-free, and if it is not what is the tax rate on the capital gain? Do you consider yourself a good investor in order to build up that money
I have lost neither my English humor or my accent and I have met plenty of Americans with a similar sense of humor, but have nearly got into trouble a few times with some that don't. for example, I was walking out to the car park one evening after work and happened to bump into the company president who asked me how my citizenship application was progressing. I told him that it was going very well and the only thing left was the lobotomy. He didn't laugh
Agree. Alan is hysterical.I can attest that Alan has not lost his sense of humor and is a good sport when teased. About pants. Or lack thereof
Isoman, my city, Seattle, had and continues to have a very heavy settlement from Sweden and Norway. King Olaf came here to the Ballard neighborhood in 1975 to dedicate a statue to Leif Erickson

Many of our fisherman historically and even now are Norwegians, many Swedes came from Minnesota when logging began to slow there, and were a big part of logging our giant first growth forests all along the west side of the Cascade Mountains. They also were early farmers.
Seattle has had a big influx of people from all over the world over the past 30 years or so as our software and high technology industries have come to the forefront, but many areas of the city still have a strong Scandinavian flavor and there are still Leif Erickson Halls, Swedish Centers, Scandinavian dances 4-5 nights a week, etc. My dance partner is a Swede, married to an American man. In Scandinavian neighborhoods all the groceries always have Swedish and Norwegian staples like rye knackebrod, lefse, homemade pickled herring, and lutfisk at the holidays.
You would feel at home here, and many in these neighborhoods will speak Swedish or Norwegian, or sometimes Danish or Icelandic.
Ha
Keegs: Tackar så mycket
I really like monthy pyton and the english humor. Fawlty tower is my favorite TV serie together with Dr Who.
