The Icelanders

Klappentext ""Not only has an Icelander held the title of World's Strongest Man! but there have been several Icelandic Miss Worlds. There have also been a surprising number of Icelandic chess grandmasters! and Iceland has more writers and artists per capita than any other country on earth. These facts reinforce the Icelanders' belief that they are a nation of strong! beautiful and intelligent people.""""The essence of Icelandic conversation is the insult. Icelanders are born with a talent for it and use it with ease from an early age. Because of their farming and fishing ancestry the most telling jibes involve sheep and fish. It is a very serious matter to refer to someone as a sheep or a codhead.""
