Thank you for posting the picture in.

For those that don’t understand Swedish, the area surrounded with the blue line is the lawyer’s property while the area withing the red line is the smoker’s property. The “shadowed” area with the smoker’s property is where she is forbidden to smoke. “Hus” means house.

You know it’s kinda sad, really, that the man couldn’t have a pleasant conversation explaining his allergy and asking her if she wouldn’t mind smoking in the back of her yard, or make some sort of arrangement they can both live with. But people nowadays are so selfish and rude they have no consideration for others, no ability to compromise. I doubt she’s blameless too.

[John Leland 1789]

I was coming up with some humor using the Swedish from the graphic, but then you had to go and ruin it by educating us. No, really, thanks. I guess some wouldn’t naturally associate the word advocate (advokaten) with lawyer. Russian also uses the latin Advokat (I don’t have Cyrillic alphabet loaded on my computer). The Bible calls Christ our Advocate (1st John - He pleads our case in Heaven before the Father).
