Oh, by the way---I think I want to be Italian or French according to this example--I'm not sure what a Norwegian would do with two cows but it probably wouldn't be near as fun as wine and women!!

You have two cows.  You see a beautiful blonde lady. 
You give her one cow. She marries you.
You go to the North to do a little logging. Come home a few days later to find that Lars,  your massive and chiseled neighbor, has taken over your farm and wife.
He agrees to let you milk one of the cows, but must buy the milk from him.

Being Scandinavian sucks!

Hey Olson---good one!!

We had a neighbor name Ole once who would take his hired man, Lars, to town for a few drinks when they finished the field work for the season.  Usually Ole's wife Lena would join them late in the evening after the "boys" had had quite a few.  Ole had a bad habit of "going to sleep" when the beer got to him and Lars and Lena would take the opportunity to check out the back seat of Ole's pickup behind the bar.  Ole woke up one time and stumbled out to the pickup while Lars and Lena were "steaming up the windows".  The bartender was pretty sure he knew what Lars and Lena were up to and was ready for a huge fight to break out behind his bar.    A few minutes later the bartender was surprised when Ole walked back in laughing, snorting, and slapping his leg.  When the bartender asked Ole what was so funny,  Ole told him " Oh, that silly Lars!!  When he drinks too much---he thinks he's me!"

Might have been the same Scandehoovian your talking about!!

I don't know but I did hear of a Norwegian girl that was so dumb that, when she got pregnant,  she claimed it wasn't hers!!  Some folks around here think I'm closely related to her.  Something about maternal genetics!!
