Ole & Sven

Day 2,656, 12:03 Published in Norway Norway by SayaadJeger

Hello eNorway,

I hope you all had a fantastic week! Now that it's Friday I have some free time so I think I'll write an article, and hopefully you'll enjoy this!!
I'm from RL USA, and here in the Norwegian American community there is a popular series of stories called Ole and Sven. I don't know if they have these stories in Norway, so hopefully these are new to you.
Anyways, these stories are usually a few sentences and are meant to be funny. Ole is a Norwegian-American and Sven is a Swedish-American, and the stories just detail their many escapades.
Enjoy!!

-Ole and Sven are at a funeral. Suddenly it occurs to Ole that he doesn't remember the name of the dearly departed. Ole turns to Sven and asks: "Sven, could you remind me again who died?" Sven thinks for a moment and says, "I'm not sure," Sven points at the casket, "...but I think it was de guy in de box."

-Ole and Sven are out deer hunting. Ole bags a buck. After they dress the deer and tag it, they grab it by its hind legs and start dragging through the woods back to the car. A game warden happens on the pair and, after checking their tags and admiring the buck tells them that they are dragging the deer out all wrong. By dragging it by the rear legs, the snow, leaves and dirt are getting caught by the animals fur, and the horns are getting all tangled in the brush. The warden suggests that they drag it by the front legs. They agree to try it and much to their surprise, it is much easier dragging the deer this way. After a half hour of this Sven turns to Ole and says, "Boy dat game warden was right, it sure is easier dragging de deer dis way, but ya know, we are getting further away from de car."

-Ole goes out one day to use the outhouse, and he finds Sven there. Sven has his wallet out, and he's throwing money down into the hole of the outhouse. Ole asks, "Uff da! Sven, watcha doin' there, fella? You're throwing the five dollar bill and the ten dollar bill down into the hole of the outhouse! Whatcha doin' that for?" Sven answers, "Well, when I pulled up my trousers I dropped a nickel down there—and I'm not going down into that mess for just a nickel!"

-Sven and Ole heard of an organization that would pay $5000 for every live wolf. They hunted for days, up and down mountains. One night, they fell asleep around their campfire. In the middle of the night, Ole woke up and saw they were surrounded 50 hungry, ferocious wolves. He said to Sven, "Wake up Sven, We're rich!"

-Sven and Ole go deer hunting and Ole accidentally shoots Sven. Sven manages to get Ole out of the woods and drives him to the emergency room. After a while, the doctor comes out to Sven in the waiting room.
"Doctor, is my friend going to be alright? I drove as fast as I could."
"You know, Sven, we might have had a chance if you didn't take the time to prepare him and tie him to the hood of your car."

-Ole and his brother Sven were working for the city. One would dig a hole, he would dig, dig, dig, the other would come behind him and fill the hole, fill, fill, fill. These two brothers worked furiously. One digging a hole, the other filling it up again. A man was watching from the sidewalk and couldn't believe how hard these men were working, but couldn't understand what they were doing. Finally he just had to ask them. He said to the hole digger, "I appreciate how hard you work, but what are
you doing? You dig a hole and your brother comes behind you and fills it up again!" Ole replied, "Oh yeah, must look kinda funny, but Al, the guy who plants the trees, is sick today."

Hope you got a laugh 😃
