OK, I thought you were joking.
...why would somebody joke about having Swedish ancestry? There's not really anything inherently funny about it. If I'd said I came from a remote geographically isolated community (sounds a bit like Kim City, actually), or a weird cult (mom's side of the family, come to think of it), or an insular community where outsiders are viewed with suspicion and electronics are believed to be powered by evil spirits (mom's people again)... that stuff is funny. All that stuff amuses me tremendously. But my Nordic roots? Not funny.
