Far Side in Estonian ...
As I was paging through some of the Estonian papers that Ragnar and Kristjan left behind, I stumbled across a Far Side cartoon in Estonian. Tried to find a web translator to tell me what's going on but could only find dictionaries and I didn't have the patience to piece it together word by word.
How's your Estonian?
"Miks sa seda tegid, Biff? Ma tean küll, et autode tagaajamine on sui veres - aga milleks seda teha presidendi limusliniga?"
The image is a female dog talking to a male dog on telephones like the ones they use in prison visiting rooms ...

Just got an e-mail from my Estonian relative, Haiku. (She married my cousin Gary, and that's why Lara and I went to Tallinn a few years ago.)
Haiku offers this translation:
"Biff, why did you do it? I know that chasing cars is in your blood - but why do it in a president's limo?"
