    I understand that part of the joke. It’s also common in the male homosexual community to talk about top or bottom. But what about the “the Swedes…” part of the joke? Please explain that to me as thoroughly as you’ve done with the obvious part, please and thank you. Because it sounds to me like you’re saying it’s typical of Swedes to be bottoms, or gay bottoms, as if that’s true and/or a problem. I hope you’ll prove me wrong without any backpedaling. 👍

      I have no idea if swedes tend to be bottoms more often than other nationalities, neither do I care to be honest.

      The words „Sweden“ „top“ & „bottom“ triggered a brainfart, which I formed into this joke. If the line had been „drive through Sweden from bottom to top, I’d have probably made the same joke the other way around.

      Why is this so important to you? Do you think I‘m dissing Sweden? Do you suspect that there’s a layer to the joke you didn’t get? Is the joke simply not funny to you an you try to find out if you missed something?

        Indeed, when you said — literally — “the Swedes”, I interpreted that as you dissing “the Swedes,” definitely, yes. I think that’s a fair interpretation to have made, in all honestly.

        I was wondering, because it felt pretty weird to do out of nowhere.

        Anyway, all good. 👍
