Hannu ja Heikki, voi taivas, ei sun vanhemmillas paljoa mielikuvitusta ole! Eikö sulla ole mitään lempinimeä? ―Ei oikeastaan. Lapsena ne sanoi mua Hummaksi.―You've got such an ordinary name, one of my relatives is called Hannu. Hannu and Heikki, oh heavens, your parents lack imagination! Don't you have any nickname either? ―Not really. I was called Humma as a child.
