Historically, in their sagas and poems, Icelanders have been very laconic, droll, and tongue-in-cheek. While not as cold near the shore as its name suggests, until recently life has sometimes been very, very demanding because of limited wood supplies, and then there were those long isolated nights of winter that nourished irony and a needful sense of humor.
