Dear Joe,
You missed a trick there! I'm sure you'll get lots of email on the subject, but after reading the 'USA is too large, broken, and unfixable' letter I had high hopes.
You wrote in your reply:
Meanwhile, let me say that I have known quite a few Finns in America and they are amazingly level headed people. Why don't you send a few thousand more over here to improve our breeding stock?
True, they won't have health care, will be forced to marry very large and vain shopping-crazed women ...
While I'm all in favour of same-sex marriages, I got the impression you were asking the letter writer from Finland to send over the men! I was hoping for the women, whatever sizes they might be.

LOL!
Yer right! I was replying to a male writer as a male. Forgot about specifying the sex of then importees. On the other hand, I once had a Finnish girlfriend and I do know this: You sure as hell don't wanna get them mad at you!
However, I guess that could be said about any nearly any woman.
As to: " ... whatever sizes they might be."
Well, if women can say "size matters" when it comes to men, then by golly these imported Finnish blondes are gonna have to "make weight," just like a jockey before the race. I'm suggesting a weight limit of 130 pounds before they can "ride," as it were.
In art and labor,
Joe
