Happiest people in the world

As you may know, the danish people are the happiest people in the world. Why? I have some theories. First of all Denmark is an empty country. With about 5.4mil people and 43,094 km² they have an average of 129.16 inhabitants per km². When we arrived in Denmark I just saw empty fields, and here and there a barn, like in the USA, it was amazing. In Denmark they also have never heard of traffic jams i think. We live in the middle of Jutland, And around Herning is a highway. 2 lanes in each direction. We drove there in the middle of the day, and this highway was fairly empty. I had the feeling I was driving on the belgian E17 at sunday morning around 8. It was so quiet. The Danish also have a good public transport system for busses and trains. This, together with the healthy air and the low rate of pollution must have some influence on the happiness.

But besides that I think I have discovered the real reason why the Danish are so happy. It is because all the electric plugs in their houses are smiling at them. You should see it.

How can someone be sad if he is surounded by these things?
