Ole, Lars and Swen - Sons of Norway

Ole, Lars and Sven had been going to the Sons of Norway hall meeting as

long as there had been a hall. And every month, wouldn’t ya know it, they

didn’t win a prize in the monthly drawing. That is until the last meeting.

Sven was the first one of the three to get his name drawn. He won two

pounds of  spaghetti sauce, four boxes of noodles, and three pounds of Swedish

meatballs. Ole had his name drawn next. He got himself round trip

tickets to Duluth, a nights stay at the Dew Drop Inn and a pair of tickets to

see the Inger triplets Polka Ensemble.  Ole thought that he had died and gone

to heaven.  Lars was the last one to have his name drawn, he won a

toilet brush.

At the next monthly meeting, they sat down together to check out how

they had fared for the past month. Sven said “Uff da, I had dat pasghetti

for tree days. It was so good, and Helga didn’t have to buy food for them

dere tree days.”  Ole said “Lena was so happy vhen I brought home dem

tickets. The trip up to Duluth was nice, we got to ride da Greyhound,

and you know, they got a built in outhouse on dat dere bus. And the Inger

Triplets, if I didn’t know better, I would swear dey were sisters.”

Then Ole turned to Lars, and asked him how his prize worked out. Lars

looks at them both and says “Dat dere toilet brush is nice, but I tink I’ll go

back to using paper.”
