[Must result from the ethically invigorating chilly climate.  Cf. Paul 
Erdman at CBS MarketWatch:]

... who are the good guys [on the Corruption Perception Index]? Among the 
perception index's top 10 are Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Canada. 
Which set me to thinking: What do they have in common? At least two things: 
a relatively chilly climate and, at least where the first four are 
concerned, a Protestant, mostly Lutheran, ethic.

Now if that observation does not get me into trouble with the politically 
correct, nothing will.
