Norwegians

[Alan #1119]

Sven and Ole went into the garbage hauling business.
All they had for a truck was Sven's 1949 Ford pick-up
with the grain sides on it.

They had just filled it to the top and started out for
the dump, when they were stopped by the police. The
officer said that garbage was blowing off
the top of their load and if they didn't find a way to
hold it down, he was going to give them a ticket.

So, Ole climbed up on top and lay down spread eagled
on top of the garbage.

As they drove along, they passed under a bridge. Two
Swedes standing on the bridge saw this sight and one
of them remarked, "Vell, vould you look at dat.
Somebody threw away a perfectly good Norwegian."

Notice that this is the end of the story. Many moons ago the Norwegians would have explained the perfectly logical situation to the Swedes, but we have learned over the years not to waste time with futile quests.
