The twelfth Danish cartoon shows a nerdy Nordic Dane wearing a turban.
An orange has just landed in this turban. This orange is labelled "PR".
(The nerdy chap is holding a drawing of a bearded stick-figure,
presumably the prophet Mohammed - but I don't want to get into that.*)
"An orange has landed in your turban" is apparently a Danish expression
meaning something similar to the Belgian "Your bottom has landed in the
butter".
Ain't idiom odd?
(a) Why bottom? Why butter? Why Belgium?
(b) Why orange? Why turban? Why Denmark?
