Examples
A Latvian goes to the doctor, and says "I'm going to work in Estonia and I really want to fit in. Could you remove 25% of my brain?" The doctor says "Fine, we can do that. Just let me schedule you in." A week or so later the Latvian goes in for the operation. However after the procedure the doctor comes to see him and says "Look, I'm really sorry but we got things mixed up and instead of removing 25% of your brain, that's all we left you with." The Latvian seems happy about this and responds "Gerai, gerai!" ("Great, fine!" in Lithuanian)
