  • A Norwegian and an Indian

    A Norwegian took a trip to Fargo, North Dakota. While in a bar, an Indian on the next stool spoke to the Norwegian in a friendly manner.

    "Look," he said, "let’s have a little game. I’ll ask you a riddle. If you can answer it, I’ll buy you a drink. If you can’t then you buy me one. OK?"

    "Ja, dat sounds purty good," said the Norwegian.

    The Indian said, "My father and mother had one child. It wasn’t my brother. It wasn’t my sister. Who was it?"

    The Norwegian scratched his head and finally said, "I give up. Who vas it?"

    "It was ME," chortled the Indian.

    So the Norwegian paid for the drinks.

    Back in Sioux Falls the Norwegian went into the bar and spotted one of his cronies.

    "Sven," he said, "I got a game. If you can answer a question, I’ll buy you a drink. If you can’t, you have to buy me vun. Fair enough?"

    "Fair enough," said Sven.

    "Ok," the Norwegian said, "my father and mudder had vun child. It vasn’t my brudder. It vasn’t my sister. Who vas it?"

    "Search me," said Sven. "I give up, who vas it?"

    The Norwegian burst out, "It vas some Indian up in Fargo, North Dakota!"

  • Nordakota

    Ole is a farmer in Minnesota. He is in need of a new milk cow and hears about a nice one for sale over in Nordakota (that would be ‘North Dakota’ for you non-Scandahoovians out there). He drives to Nordakota, finds the farm and looks at the cow.

    Ole reaches under to see if she gives milk. When he grabs the teat and pulls… the cow farts. Ole is very surprised. He looks at the farmer who is selling the cow, then reaches under the cow to try again. He grabs another teat, pulls, and the cow farts again. Milk does come out however, so after some discussion with the cow’s current owner, Ole decides to buy the cow and take it home.

    When he gets back to Minnesota, he calls over his neighbour, Sven, and says, "Hey, Sven, come and look at dis here new cow I yust bought. Pull her teat, and see vat happens."

    Sven reaches under, pulls the teat – and the cow farts. Sven looks at Ole and says, "You bought dis here cow in Nordakota, didn’t yah?"

    Ole is very surprised since he hadn’t told Sven about his trip. Ole replies, "Yah, dats right, but how did you know?"

    Sven says, "My wife is from Nordakota."
