Midsummer warning

[kinuski]

Helsingin Sanomat makes a good point: One final point. Please try not to become a drowning statistic.

Every year at Midsummer, a distressing number of people either overestimate their swimming skills, underestimate the amount they have had to drink before plunging in from sauna, overestimate the depth of the water at the end of the jetty before diving headfirst, ignore the temperature of the lake (not likely to be too warm this year), or forget that it is not merely ecologically irresponsible to attempt to urinate off the back of a small rowing boat.

Please do not join them, or those who manage to spoil their weekend and that of the fire services by burning down their sauna.

Финская народная примета гласит: если на Юханнус будешь кататься на лодке, то не стоит расстегивать ширинку.

Говорят, что примета возникла от того, что по статистике у 90% утопленников ширинка расстегнута

As they say: "...or forget that it is not merely ecologically irresponsible to attempt to urinate off the back of a small rowing boat". 8-)
