re: #163 Mostly sane, most of the time.

The vikings chose a slave girl to go with the chieftain as his wife into the next life.

For some reason, the real wife was perfectly happy to allow this.

Wonder why?

“Obviously, my beloved husband would much prefer to have a younger, perkier model to start off in the afterlife with. Me, I’d prefer not to have my throat cut. So we have an understanding.”

BTW, when it comes to matters Norse, I cannot recommend this gentleman’s comedy highly enough.
