See? Not Just An American Thing
And now, for a little international flair, here's a Cake Wreck all the way from Norway. We begin with a guy ordering a cake for his coworker, Arnold:
(The original article is written in Norwegian, so I've put this conversation through Google Translate.)
"Can I please order a marzipan cake?"
"That's fine. What is the name on it?"
"Yes it will be Arnold 60 years. Happy Birthday."
"Arne 60..."
"No. Arnold!"
"Arna?"
"No! Arnold like in 'Arnold Schwarzenegger.'"
"Oh... huh. Arnold like in 'Arnold Schwarzenegger?'"
"Yes."
"Are you sure."
"Yes in heaven's name. You shall write it as said!!! Yeah, print it! In a hurry!"
I want to believe Google Translate is completely accurate and this is exactly how Norwegians talk.
Because that would be hilarious. (Shhh, let me have this, Europe.)
Okay. Here's the cake in all its Norwegian glory:
Thanks, Karl E. - and hey, come with me... if you want to eat.

P.S. I can't speak for Norwegians, but I bet Arnold would at least approve of this t-shirt:
("I'm Fine" Funny Graphic Tee)
Not to mention it really fits the mood of our weekly grocery run. :D
