Don't trust the danish! They are very tricky people. They invaded sweden
once, and we're constantly watching them, in case they will try it
again! As for the rest, they are good people, although the norwegian are
the most lazy people on the planet.

I read an article a while back that many young Swedes went to Norway when
they couldn't find work at home. They found employment peeling bananas.

 This is the truth! Well, I don't know about the banana business, but many low paying service jobs in norway, that the norwegians don't want to do are filled with swedish youth, who in comparison, are seen as diligent and hart working!
 Also swedish nurses double their salaries when moving to norway, and sweden backfills with arabians who hardly speak the language. There have been many examples of old people not understanding what their arabian doctor or nurse are saying.
 The good thing is that the current center/nationalist government I think made it possible for old people to demand to have a doctor they can understand. Under the previous socialist government, this was seen as racist and possibly punished.
 

I've been known to mash a banana on bread but this seems a bit extreme.

I wonder what Norway will do when the North Sea oil fields dry up?

 The country will collapse back into a being a small fishing village. ;) Once norway proposed to trade part of its oil fields for shares in Volvo. Sweden, at the height of its modern power, laughed and refused. It makes me very sad. =(
 

I did find it amusing that Norway housed some of its immigrants in an off
season resort -- somewhere north of the Arctic Circle. Welcome to sunny
Norway!

 Sounds just like norway! Another norwegian classic... in order to fight congestion, you can only drive in the fast lane if you're 2 people or more during rush hour. The crafty norwegians love their au paires, and took them with them to work, so they can save time, and then sent them home with the car, and again to pick them up at work, so they can drive two in the car in the fast lane!
