If I thought you'd *actually* mind it I wouldn't have suggested it :-)

I had not heard that one before.  Is there a typical sort of punchline 
to jokes about Finns?  The main negative stereotypes I've heard is that 
they're untalkative surely drunks (who you additionally don't want to 
get into a war with), but this is based on about four web comics I read 
a year ago, so I have no idea if that's actually what the stereotype is.
