(Is this a valid dad joke, or should I post it in the “normal” jokes community instead/also?)

      So… a damntor? I still don’t get it. Or is the joke that a Finnish word sounds like a different English word?

    I don’t know how true it is, but I’ve been told that if I ever visit Finland, and find myself in a pub, all I have to say is “Suomi perkele!” and the people will repeat it back, and then we’ll be friends for the night.
