Two minutes later, she is getting dressed again. The man asks her “will you take me to jail, officer?” This is often a stereotype of Swedish women in particular. I don’t need to tell you that beauty is entirely subjective. However, most Swedes do like to take care of their appearance and they may appear to be better looking as a result (that’s just a guess!).

Hissen går inte hela vägen upp = “The elevator doesn’t reach the top floor” (suggests that someone might not be utilizing and/or consulting with their brain properly.) Finally, both Danes and Swedes joke about what they see as the overly literalistic compound words which they imagine exist in Norwegian, with a collection of words in skämtnorska, or joke Norwegian, sometimes expressed in joke form, such as this Danish example, which literally translates the lim in Limfjord, the fjord in northern Jutland as "glue": The Spanish guy sitting next to her asks what's wrong and she replies that 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in a drug bust. There ́s no way she believed you!” He shakes his head again. “How old did you tell her you were, then?” You may scuff and exhale abruptly at this statement, but research shows that swearing can be a sign of higher intelligence, so let’s not discount its’ merits just yet.Later in the day, while he’s at the dinner, the guy sits at the table but doesn’t say a word. The girlfriend’s mother ask him to say grace. He prays, prays, and prays. After he’s finally done, his girlfriend tells him “I didn’t know you were so religious”. Sometimes, one-liners and short Q&A jokes are not enough. In such situations, here are the best longer dark jokes you can tell:

But one day, a white baby was born to one of the women in the tribe. The chief immediately sent for the missionary and demanded to know why he had broken the commandments he had so lovingly taught to his people. Du är inte den vassaste kniven i lådan = “You aren’t the sharpest knife in the drawer” (suggests that someone isn’t among those who generally excel in one way or another)The ceo of IKEA has just been appointed as the Prime Minister of Sweden. He's currently assembling his cabinet. Presumably, someone had dirty flour once and they were guilty. Or something. Either way, clean flour = cleared of all charges! I'm thinking about opening up a Swedish restaurant but my chef isn't actually Swedish Do you think anyone will notice I'm using an artificial Swedener on my food? In other words: when everyone has calmed down from whatever happened before the joke was made, there is less tension in the room, and it’s easier to laugh about it .
