>Here is one of them. Two farmers are talking and one mentions he has some skunks living under his porch and can't get rid of them. "Here's what you do," the other guy says. "Put a big plate of lutefisk under there. That'll get rid of them." The first farmer promises to give it a try. A few days later they run into each other again. "How did that lutefisk work out for you? Did it get rid of the skunks?" "Yes. But now I can't get rid of the Norwegians."
