What do ‘Patriot’ missiles have in common with butter?

Both have been siezed from smugglers in Scandinavia this week.

Yes, it is hard to believe…

The ‘Patriot’ missiles were found in Finland:

“The Finnish authorities have impounded an Isle of Man-flagged ship bound for China with undeclared missiles and explosives, officials say.”

Over in Norway, where the government may fall over the butter shortage, they have caught butter smugglers:

“The two men, who snuck into the country from Sweden, were arrested with about 550 lbs of butter divided into 18-ounce packets, the Norwegian daily newspaper Adresseavisen reported.”

So, how can a country encounter such a catastrophic shortage of butter?

“Authorities at Norway’s butter monopoly blame the shortage on bad weather…”

Ah, ‘butter monopoly’… Say no more!
