Question

When you know you have lived in Minnesota a long time

Yesterday morning it was 30 below here with wind chills hitting around 50 below.  So this morning as I was walking out to my truck I am enjoying the nice sunshine and thinking it doesn't feel too bad out.  So I start up my truck and I see it is only 19 below this morning with no wind.  Time to break out the shorts and sun tan lotion.  😀

 

As long as I'm here:

When Ole went to play cards with da boys his friend Lars asked him, " Why is it when we play cards you bring your wife, when we go fishing you bring your wife, and when we go bowling you bring your wife."
Ole replied, "Have you noticed that Lena is kind of ugly? Dis way I don't never have to kiss her goodbye."

 

There was a sandwich machine in a gas station Sven and Ole stopped at on the way home from fishing. Sven didn't quite understand what the machine was about though. He went to the machine and paid his $1.50 and got one sandwich. He was surprised, and paid another $1.50 to the machine and received another sandwich. Finally he had a huge pile of sandwiches.
Ole came out of the restroom and was wondering what Sven was doing. "Sven, don't ya tink ya should stop now," asked Ole.
"Criminy jeez," replied Sven, "Not now! I'm yust starting to win big!"

 

Little Ole decided one day to head for his favorite fishing spot down by the river. As he approached the stream located near some trees, Little Ole suddenly encountered a lady emerging from the river who had been skinny-dipping. When she spotted Little Ole, the lady ran toward an old washtub, abandoned in the trees and held it in front of her to shield her modesty. As she commenced looking for her clothes, she noticed Little Ole staring at her in fascination. Sternly she confronted Little Ole with an icy glare, saying "Young man, do you know what I'm thinking?"
"Sure," said Little Ole,"Yer tinking dat washtub has a bottom on it."

 

Sven and Ole were out looking for a job, and they got an interview at a trucking company. The boss was asking them questions, and he says to Sven,
"Sven, pretend that you're driving the truck in the mountains and Ole is asleep in the back. You're going downhill, when all of a sudden your brakes go out. What do you do?"
Sven says, "Well, da first ting I'd do is wake up Ole."
"Why's that?", asked the boss.
"Because he's never seen an accident before!"

I agree, it oddly felt pretty good today compared to the last couple days.

It is probably been 5-10 degrees warmer here, but I have to admit that I was wearing shorts when to went out the garage to get some things and to pickup the mail this morning.  

 

It sounds like there are a lot of people in the central and southern part of the US that may be getting hit with a big snowstorm or ice storm and they aren't equipped to handle so much snow.

Sorry, there's nothing funny coming out of Minnesota these days.

The original post was done before the news broke about the new ICE storm hitting Minnesota.

Slava Ukraini!
