Can I add Viking to my resume?

I know you have all been eagerly awaiting this development: Yes, I have rowed a viking ship on the open fjord. I should probably just come home now. I mean, I've climbed rugged mountains, eaten lutefisk, worn a bunad, and lived through perpetual darkness followed by perpetual lightness... what else is there left to do on my quest to be a true Norwegian?

 The rest of the crew:

The guy in front of me was coaxed onto the boat so that we had enough rowers to take it out on the water. He was clearly more interested in chit-chatting and slacking than rowing, much to the chagrin of our no-nonsense, viking-girl captain.


Me, on the other hand:

Grueling labor is fun!
