Íslendingar vinsælt efni í brandara!

Ísland og Íslendingar eru vinsælt efni í brandara þessa dagana. Hér er smá sýnishorn til að brosa yfir(eða ekki) á þessum síðustu og verstu..

Rather tasteless, I know. Here's one:
"Iceland's a cold country. Even their bank accounts are frozen".

I tried to pay a cheque in, but the bank bounced

What's the difference between "hurdy-gurdy" Haarde and a bucket of sh1t..? - The bucket

"What do you do if you get lost in an Icelandic forest?" - "Stand up"

The new motto of Iceland: - "In Cod We Trust"

Hér er einn góður:

An elderly lady receives an e-mail from the son of a deceased (but wealthy) African general, asking whether he could transfer £10 million into her bank account in return for a 20% cut. All the son needs is the sort code and the account number. Not realising she's the victimof a Nigerian 419 fraud, she e-mail back her bank details. A couple of minutes later, she receives an e-mail back from the general's son: Icesave?! What is this, some sort of scam?

What does Amy Winehouse and Icelandic banks have in common?

You run a mile when you see them!

A lobbyist on his way home from Parliament is stuck in traffic. Noticing a police officer, he winds down his window and asks: ‘What’s the hold-up?’ The policeman replies: ‘The Prime Minister is so depressed he’s stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself on fire. He says no one believes he can get us through the credit crunch. So we’re taking up a collection for him.’ The lobbyist asks: ‘How much have you got so far?’ The officer replies: ‘About 40 gallons, but a lot of people are still siphoning.’
Not quite an Icelandic joke, but pretty much related.

Q: How do you successfully freeze your financial assets?
A: Invest in an Icelandic bank

Hér er svo frábær síða:

Iceland, not to be confused with Ireland, French Guiana, Iraq, Saudi Arabia or Beirut is a giant rock in the northern Atlantic ocean, inhabited by very small people. It is famous for being the hellhole in which Adolf Hitler was sent after his death, as hell was considered too comfortable. Icelanders found America, Canada, Mexico and Greenland sometime before 1000. Iceland has own those countries still today but a giant Italian alien-freak named Columbus tried to steel it in 1500. Emperor Björk decided to execute him, since then Italians were not allowed in Iceland (thank god, Italian food sticks). Meira hér!

Financial crisis jokes
