The power of slogans



Today I bought some glue and chose my childhood's favorite - the Swedish Karlsons Klister, the glue that could glue together "anything".

"När ditt hjärta en gång brister
laga det med Karlsons klister."
(Free translation from Swedish:
If your heart breaks in two,
do repair with Karlson's Glue.)

The symbol of Karlsons Klister was, and is, the donkey.

"Alle bruker Karlsons Klister,
unntatt meg,
for jeg er et esel."
(Free translation from Norwegian:
Everybody uses Karlson's Glue,
except me,
for I am a donkey.)
