Well, all I can say is that without Denmark the "grey elephant in Denmark" trick won't work, will it?

What's that, rooperi?
The Grey Elephant from Denmark eating a Grape Trick
2. Set the sealed envelope on a table before starting the trick.
3. Ask for a volunteer from the audience and have him or her perform the following steps:
4. Think of a number between 1 and 9.
5. Subtract 5 from the number.
6. Multiply the new number by 3.
7. Square the product (multiply the product by itself).
8. Add the digits of the new number.
9. If the sum isn't a 1-digit number, add the digits of the new number together. Keep adding the digits of each new sum until you get a 1-digit number.
10. If the new 1-digit number is less than 5, add 5 to it. If it's greater than 5, subtract 4 from it.
11. Multiply the new number by 2.
12. Subtract 6 from the result.
13. Think of the letter of the alphabet that corresponds to this new number. (A=1, B=2, etc.)
14. Think of a country that begins with that letter.
15. Think of an animal that begins with the second letter of the country's name.
16. Think of the animal's colour.
17. Think of a fruit that begins with the first letter of the animal's colour.
18. Once the volunteer has gone through all of this, call attention to the sealed envelope that has been sitting on the table throughout the proceedings. Ask the volunteer what country, animal and fruit he or she thought of.
19. Have the volunteer open the envelope and display its contents. The volunteer, along with the rest of the audience, will be amazed at the fact that you knew the responses ahead of time.
Yes, besides world renown pastry chef Soren Kierkegaard, Denmark did give us the elephant trick. Rooperi seems to be better at arguing in favour of Denmark's "right to exist" than Southernsoldier.
elizabethlonehvid could whip you bloody.
I was bloody last week. Who is "elizabethlonehvid"?
Horatio:
He waxes desperate with imagination.Marcellus:
Let's follow. 'Tis not fit thus to obey him.Horatio:
Have after. To what issue will this come?Marcellus:
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.Horatio:
Heaven will direct it.Marcellus:
Hamlet Act 1, scene 4, 87–91
Nay, let's follow him. [Exeunt.]
This is one time when the popular misquotation—"Something's rotten in Denmark"—is a real improvement on the original. But you ought to be careful around purists, who will also remember that the minor character Marcellus, and not Hamlet, is the one who coins the phrase. There's a reason he says "state of Denmark" rather than just Denmark: the fish is rotting from the head down—all is not well at the top of the political hierarchy.
There have been some hair-raising goings-on outside the castle at Elsinore. As the terrified Horatio and Marcellus look on, the ghost of the recently deceased king appears to Prince Hamlet. The spirit beckons Hamlet offstage, and the frenzied prince follows after, ordering the witnesses to stay put. They quickly decide to tag along anyway—it's not "fit" to obey someone who is in such a desperate state. In this confused exchange, Marcellus's famous non sequitur sustains the foreboding mood of the disjointed and mysterious action. And it reinforces the point and tone of some of Hamlet's earlier remarks—for example, that Denmark is "an unweeded garden" of "things rank and gross in nature" (Act 1, scene 2). When his father's ghost tells him his chilling tale in scene 5, the prince will realize just how rotten things really are in Denmark.
My friend in denmark
Well you don't make this easy for me Southernsoldier. When you say Denmark, do you mean Greenland? Or are you talking about Warsaw, Berlin, or South Carolina?

My friend is Southernsoldier2 and Maybe you chose America because they had no Nazi flag and america is the closest.
