The story. I was just back from Malmö, Sweden to Copenhagen airport in Denmark.
Bill: I want a Swedish... ar... Danish chocolate *looking at the chocolate box in front of me that looks like Belgium chocolate*
Staff: *Smile*
Bill: I want those with the funny "O" on the box (referring to the Ø letter in Danish), and not the funny O with 2 dots (referring to the Ö letter in Swedish). What about that one? *point*
Staff: *smile+nob* Yes. It has a funny O. Except it's Norwegian. Here, this one is good.
Bill: Is it Danish? *looking at the chocolate box above*
Staff: It's Danish and it's good.
Bill: But there's no funny O on the box.
Staff: It's good. *smile*
Bill: But...
Staff: It's good.
oh.. it's good..
