"I remember the first time I heard someone tell the joke in which different nationalities are asked to write an article about elephants. The joke describes that the French wrote about the love life of elephants, the British about hunting elephants in British East Africa and the Americans about how to breed bigger and better elephants. Then came the punch line; the Finns wrote about what elephants think about Finland. I remember trying to cover up my confusion by laughing politely, all the while thinking, “Huh, I don’t get it.”
