1 History of this list: Maybe you're wondering what prompted us or inspired us to compile this list. Well I think we were inspired with Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be A Redneck If:" lists. At a few of the exchange student gatherings we talked and joked about the things that were normal to the Finns, but seemed different to us. Then Heather told me that on Saturday nights in her town some of the teenagers drove tractors around and actually picked up girls to ride around with them. It sounded so funny to me that I had to go and video it for myself, which I did. Anyways while I was there we actually put all of our ideas down. Then once I was back in the States and Heather was in Canada we worked a little more on it. That's petty much the story behind the list.
