Greenland, still the most popular European destination among misguided stoners, gained self-rule last Sunday after 288 years of Danish rule. With roomies the Danish government leaving, Greenland can finally move into the bigger room. Congrats, Greenland! You did something your big brother Iceland did 65 years ago!

To celebrate, Mike Spiegelman of Luggage Tuesdays offers three jokes Greenlanders can now openly say without looking over their shoulders for Danes.

Q. How many Greenlanders does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A. According to the NY Times...

...Greenland has "58,000 people and only two traffic lights." Assuming there are two bulbs per traffic light, it would take 14,500 Greenlanders per light bulb.

Q. How is Greenland like a henpecked husband?

A. According to the NY Times...

• [Prime Minister Kuupik Kleist] compared the situation to a marriage in which the wife was bossing around her henpecked husband. "From today," he said, "the man in the house has as much say as the wife."

And for you irony lovers, here's the next paragraph of the article [emphasis ours]:

• But this is a delicate time, full of hope and trepidation in equal measure. Few Greenlanders graduate from college. The country is rife with social problems like alcoholism, unemployment and domestic violence.

Maybe there would be less domestic violence if the Prime Minister didn't compare his country to a marital strife.

Q. What did Hamlet say to Ophelia on their prom night?

A. Get your Danish literature out of our country.
