    I doubt you'd see an appreciable decline in patrons. After all, your women don't shave and you all consume a lot of garlic. Your saunas are viewed more like greenhouses for anti-biotic resistant bacterial infections than anything else.

    Just keep a supply of vaseline on hand to lube them up when they get stuck so they can be pushed back out again, trust me nobody wants an American stuck in their doorway

    Haha, one of the funniest and well-crafted things in a long while

    Bay leaves are a common spice in the West, especially when we pickle things. As a Finländer (i.e., Asian), you understandably don't know of these things.

    But you err! It is that thing, laurel. I have read about them in cookbooks smuggled in from western countries. I just did not connect it with the name.

    I think a "no fatties allowed" sign would cover all the bases.

    8. Sales tax is not included in the price on the shelf, expect to pay approximately 5% more in sales tax then the posted price.
    This is so ing stupid. I am surprised stores don't get sued every other day for misleading customers.

    It's not misleading because no one expects that to be the actual price. Not to mention they aren't implying that tax is included at all.
