Swedish cops probe flying fermented fish attack

Invented (but never used) by Finns

The surströmming was actually invented by Finns, at the time of Swedish rule.

The Finns had to pay tax to the Crown. One part of it was fish. When it was time to deliver they chose the containers that had gone bad (otherwise they'd have to eat it themselves).

And for some peculiar reason Swedes chose this as a delicacy. Beats me!

What about a loan?

Overdraft?

If you know you need extra money why not get a loan?

Banks are crazy to let the students overdraft at all.
