Bar codes, so when they dock they can Scandinavian.
Why This Joke Works
Same barcode/Scandinavian joke as best-077 with slight wording variation. 'Bar codes printed on them' is accurate — barcodes ARE printed — making the setup technically correct before the punchline delivers the geographical wordplay.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Nod knowingly when you deliver 'Scandinavian' — like this is a well-established maritime identification policy you've personally verified.
Perfect for:
- •At a Nordic museum or Scandinavian heritage festival
- •When shopping and a barcode scanner has serious trouble reading something
- •During a sailing trip when someone asks about naval identification systems
