No more school...

[TARNATION !!!]

Not sure why I'm thinking Irish but I can't get that to work.
All the wrong answers would be

The guy just finished could be Finnish or now from Hungry
The guy needing to go could be from Togo
If urgent they both could be from Iran or Rushin'
Meeting in the middle they could be Thai

And the real answer is???????

And stand you to a Guinness with a tot o' Bushmills should we ever meet-You are so close- as in dancing, hand grenades and horse-shoes, where it really counts- Yup-- The gent headed back towards the farmhouse is a Finnish- and the gent headed toward the two-holer, he's probably a Russian.

I have some Finns for neighbors, also some Danes- although 90% of our rural area is good old Mick Irish- I study history quite a bit- if I have my facts right, Russia tried to conquor Finland in the Winter of 1940- and got their butts kicked- the country and the people there don't quit-probably the biggest % of Finnish and Swedish descendants in MI live in the UP- also gets some rugged winters-

Anyway, thanks for giving it a 'shot"--

You brought to mind an old elementary school days riddle.

Why is a fire engine red??

A fire engine has 8 wheels and 4 men
8 + 4 is 12
There are 12 inches in a foot
A foot is a ruler
Queen Elizabeth is a ruler
And a ship on the seas
The seas have fish
The fish have Fins
The Finns fought the Russians
And a fire engine's always rushin'
So it's RED
