Finnish Joke:

Matti, Heikki, and Toivo were sitting in the sauna when they hear a beeping sound. Matti presses his forearm and the beeping stops.

Matti: That's my pager. I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.

A few minutes later a phone rings. Heikki puts his palm to his ear and talks for awhile.

Heikki: That's my cell phone. I have a microchip in my hand.

Toivo feeling rather low tech, steps out of the sauna. A few minutes later he returns with piece of toilet paper extending from his rear end.

The other two looked at him strangely, and he calmly said: "I'm getting a fax."
