MN Declares War on the USA...joke time
President Barack Obama was in the Oval Office when his telephone rang.
"Hello, President Obama," a heavily accented Norwegian voice said. "'Dis here
is Sven, over here in Dulut, Minnesota. Ve don't like some a yer policies so I
am callin' to tell ya that we are officially declaring war on ya!"
"Well, Sven," Barack replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your
army?"
"Right now," said Sven, after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, my
cousin Knute, my next-door-neighbor Ole, and the whole pool team from the
Rod."
Barack paused, "I must tell you, Sven, that I have one million men in my army
waiting to move on my command."
"Wow," said Sven, "I'll haf ta call ya back!" Sure enough, the next day, Sven
called again. "Mr. Obama, da war is still on! We have managed to acquire
some infantry equipment!"
"And what equipment would that be, Sven?" Barack asked.
"Vell sir, ve got two combines, a bulldozer, and Sigurd's farm tractor."
President Obama sighed. "I must tell you, Sven, that I have 16,000 tanks and
14,000 armored personnel carriers. Also I've increased my army to one and a
half million since we last spoke."
"All right den," said Sven. "I'll be getting back to ya." Sure enough, Sven rang
again the next day... "President Obama, da war is still on! We have managed to
git ourselves airborne! We up an' modified Ole's ultra-light vit a couple'a
shotguns in da cockpit, and four boys from the coffee shop haf joined us as vell!"
Barack was silent for a minute then cleared his throat. "I must tell you,
Sven, that I have 10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes . My military
complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since
we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"
"Two million you say?," said Sven, "l'll haf' to call you back." Sure enough, Sven
called again the next day. "President Obama! I am sorry to have to tell you that
we have had to call off this here war."
"I'm sorry to hear that," said Barack. "Why the sudden change of heart?"
"Vell, sir," said Sven, "we've all sat ourselves down and had a long chat over
a few beers, and come to realize that there's yust no vay ve can feed two
million prisoners."
MINNESOTA CONFIDENCE CANNOT BE SHAKEN
If you're from Minnesota, you won't even need to be told to pass this on.
GOD BLESS Minnesota !

All I can say..it's beautiful there...Deb and I drove the north shore scenic drive, and it was great.....tricked her into wading out into the water, she got to her ankles before realizing how cold Lake Superior can be in August :laugh:

Glad you had a good time. The shallow water in the lake gets into the 55 to 75 range, the deep water up to maybe 35. While I was on a river cruise here in New Orleans I was buying a hat in the gift shop. The lady behind the counter asked where I was from. After I told her she asked how cold it gets. The look on her face when I told her that because I live near Lake Superior the temps usually only get down to 20 to 25 below zero was priceless.

To tell the truth, I'd live up there in a heart beat...we base camped in Hayward WI because everything we wanted to do was near there...visiting friends, sight seeing (yes, we went to the concrete park in Phillips WI)..and I love the north shore...I may be there soon, say about 5 years when I retire
