I had no idea what you were talking about so I looked up "swede" and discovered that you must be from the UK. Or you could be from Australian or New Zealand. You learn something new each day!

Yes, I'm from the UK, guilty as charged!

Hope I didn't offend anyone!

No offense here. Although it is possible that there's a group out there somewhere that holds that the rutabager is the Lord God of the Universe. I'm sure that in someone's root cellar there exists a rutabager shaped just like Jesus. So, you probably did offend someone. Some days you just can't win.

Some times the house pet has to be neutered.
