Q: What is the nickname for the Oresund bridge?

A: It's called the Second Rate Bridge.

They wanted to call it the Golden Gate Bridge, on account of it being made of gold, and all those gates. When it came time to file the paperwork, the townspeople discovered that another bridge already had them name.

There were your usual lawsuits and everything and as a result of the settlement, we had to name it The Second Rate Bridge. No one liked it at the time, but now it proved to be pretty accurate.

It turns out it's a terrible idea to make a bridge out of gold, because it's so soft and heavy. Those gates didn't help either. They're pretty much a death trap.

You guys need a lift across? We'll never make it, but it's a hell of a trip.
