Now firstly, if he has employed anyone, hopefully a swede, they are notoriously insubordinate and it is to be reported to what the americans call the IRS, tax collectors in other words. Secondly, but more importantly, there is a vast difference between a viking and a gnome. A viking is a huge human being about 160 cm above sea level at that time. A gnome is a character which resembles Santa and is about the size of wood stump and lives among them. The gnomes came about approximately at year of 1800 and can still be found in Norway. Vikings were warriors while the gnomes are mostly doing funny mischievious things. Please do not mistake a gnome for a swede. That is too much flatter for the swede. Swede my foot!
