Try this, and see the route it tells you to take…(look at the map)
Use the drop down to select “norway” first…
That is either:
[ul][li] the scenic route[/li][li] the punch line to a joke (“You can’t get there from here.”)[/li]or
The French Connection[/ul]
…Holy shit, that is a long route.
Isn’t there a more direct way to get there? And how’d you find this out, anyway? is curious
I think it’s even more fun if you change the route from “Quickest” to “Shortest”. It’s shorter, all right.
If I wanted to belittle some of my fellow countrymen, I’d say that if you’re in Haugesund, your first priority would be to get away from the southwest of Norway, and then you’d think about how to get to Trondheim (an excellent destination, btw). The southwest coast is where we keep our Bible belt, you see.
Of course, I’m too nice, as well as full aware that there’s a plethora of regional jokes to tell about Trondheim and Trøndelag in retaliation, so I wouldn’t dream of actually saying that. 
We might owe the Vikings an apology. Perhaps they were just using MapPoint.
ROFL!!! “Leif, I told you we should have turned right at Estotiland. Now, look, we’re in Minnesota, and Garrison Keillor’s going to make fun of our descendants!”
Someone sent me it in an email and I have no idea where they got it from. The funny thing is that the reverse directions seem perfectly fine.
It was on Fark a couple of days ago.
