Ole and Sven from Minnesota


Ole and Sven die and woke up in Hell. The next day the devil stops in to
check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and bomber hats
warming themselves around the fire. The devil asks them, "What are you
doing? Isn't it hot enough for you?"

Ole and Sven reply, "Vell, ya know, we're from nordern Minnesota, the land
of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a
little bit, ya know."

The devil decides that these two aren't miserable enough and turns up the
heat. The next morning he stops in again and there they are, still
dressed in parkas, hats and mittens. The devil asks them again, "Its
awfully hot down here, can't you guys feel that?"

Again, Ole and Sven reply, "Vell, like we told you yesterday, we're from
nordern Minnesota, the land of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for
a chance to warm up a little bit, ya know."

This gets the devil a little steamed up and he decides to fix the two guys.

He cranks the heat up as high as it will go. The people are wailing and
screaming every where. He stops by the room with the two guys from
Minnesota and finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling walleye and
drinking beer.

The devil is astonished, "Everyone down here is in abject misery, and you
two seem to be enjoying yourselves."

The two Minnesotan's reply, "Vell, ya know, we don't get too much warm
weather up dere in Bemidji, we've just got to have a fish fry when the
weather's this nice."

The devil is absolutely furious, he can hardly see straight. Finally he
comes up with the answer. The two guys love the heat because they have
been cold all their lives.

The devil decides to turn all the heat off in hell. The next morning, the
temperature is below zero, icicles are hanging everywhere, people are
shivering so bad that they are unable to wail, moan and gnash their teeth.

The devil smiles and heads for the room with the two Minnesotans. He gets
there and finds them back in their parkas, bomber hats, and mittens. They
are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling and screaming like mad men.

The devil is dumbfounded, "I don't understand, when I turn up the heat
you're happy. Now its freezing cold and you're still happy. What is wrong
with you two?"

Ole and Sven look at the devil in surprise, "Vell, don't ya know, if Hell
froze over dat must mean da Vikings won da Super Bowl.”
