I was ruminating the other day about the
relative percentage of hams in various countries. I seem to work
A LOT of Italians, Spaniards and Germans. So a quick Google
search led me to Wikipedia. It has a listing of hams by country (

Germany was 15 at 0.073% and Italy 21 at 0.049%.<br>
<br>
Slovenia was a bit of a surprise but it is a small country so a
relatively small population of hams (6,500 as of 2000) can tip the
scale pretty easily. Same with Norway with 6,818 hams as of
2022. US had almost 780,000 as of 2021.<br>
<br>
So we hams are a relative rarity, population wise - approx. 1 in
500 in the US. We are LEET! ( <a href="https://bit.ly/45DwgyC" class="yiv5673448380moz-txt-link-freetext" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bit.ly/45DwgyC</a> )<br>
