In summary, the conversation included a preference for Ikea's Swedish meatballs, a clarification about the ingredients, and a discussion about assembling the furniture. There was also a mention of Otto von Bismarck and a humorous suggestion for taking photos.

The disclaimer should also say that it's not all beef either. :oldbiggrin:

Hmm, I wonder if you have to assemble it yourself.

Next time, go the right distance away from the sign and hold up a hot dog at arm's length so it looks like the actual size. It's the poor man's "holding up the leaning tower of Pisa" picture.
