Probably smart. From my (admittedly old) memory, Swedes put on wooden
clogs, grab the rear end of motorcycles, and hang on while wooden splinters
fly everywhere, until the clogs are worn away. Yes, I've seen it. Yes,
they're insane. Yes, they do serve you alcohol to calm your nerves after
witnessing Swedish pastimes like that. Then they tell you "Horrodu" a few
times, which is very soothing.

Yes, I've done it.

The trick is to jump up on the motorcycle before the clogs are
completely worn away.

Of course, the cool guys remove the spring on the throttle and speed the
motorcycle up themselves before jumping off, and steer the whole thing
from their hold on the rear end.

In the winter version, you do the same on ice, with skates or short
skis. The fastest I've ever travelled on skis was just below 110 km/h,
after a snowmobile

Eh?

How so?

Yes, it may be moderately dangerous, but it's far safer than crocodile
wrestling or working at helpdesk.

Yup, that's us. Calm and soothing to a fault.

Good heavens! And I thought *I* was starved for entertainment, but then I
have a rather Rincewindish approach to leisure time. Here driving really
large trucks in loads of mud and tipping over sleeping cows is popular, so I
guess I don't have much room to tease others.
