The small US town I live in has many Finns and Norwegians who arrived here in the mid/late 1800's to work in the logging industry.
When I got here 30 years ago it was my first experience "interacting" with Finns and I always thought it was a problem with me (3rd gen Californian).
Thankfully, a long time local Norwegian friend told me a joke that cleared it all up.
Q: "How can you tell when a Finn is an extrovert?"
A: "They stare at your shoes instead of their own."
I asked my 3rd gen Finnish acquaintances about that, and they heartily agreed.
