Default Minnesota

Two Minnesotans walk into a pet shop in Dingle. They head to the bird
section and Sven says to Hans, "Dat's dem." The owner comes over and
asks if he can help them. "Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little
budgies in dat cage up dere," says Sven. The owner puts the budgies in
a paper bag.


Hans and Sven pay for the birds, leave the shop and get into Sven's
pick-up and drive to the top of the Conor Pass. At the Conor Pass,
Sven looks down at the 1000-foot drop and says: "Dis looks like a
grand place."


He takes two birds out of the bag, puts them on his shoulders and
jumps off the cliff. Hans watches as Sven falls all the way to the
bottom, killing himself stone dead.


Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Hans shakes his head and
says: "Dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me."


BUT WAIT!!!! there's MORE!


************************************************

PART TWO:


Moments later Ole arrives up at Conor Pass. He's been to the pet shop
too and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another paper bag
in one hand and a shotgun in the other. "Hi, Hans. Watch dis," Ole
says. He takes a parrot from the bag and throws himself over the edge
of the cliff. Hans watches as half way down, Ole takes the gun and
shoots the parrot. Ole continues to plummet down and down until he
hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body.


Hans shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat
parrotshooting either."


BUT WAIT!!!!.....There's MORE!!


************************************************** ****

PART THREE:


Hans is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Lars
appears. He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a paper bag
out of which he pulls a chicken. Lars then grasps the chicken by the
legs holds it over his head and hurls himself off the cliff and
disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine.


Once more Hans shakes his head - "First der was Sven with his budgie
jumping, den Ole parrotshooting ...... and now Lars is hengliding.....

To the best of my knowledge there are no 1000-foot drops in Minnesota. :-)

It's one thing to challenge the integrity of the posters here, but to
challenge the word of Hans and Sven is unethical.

Not to mention reckless. Can you say Husqvarna 3120XP?

I just googled Conor Pass. Its evidently near Dingle in Ireland. Methinks
this joke has been partially politically corrected.

Eh? What's this? Are you seriously suggesting that it's possible for
someone outside Minnesota to be a Minnesotan?

Wolfgang
who supposes then, that they are not truly anadromous.

Definately not. I googled "Anna Dramis", and apparently she lives in
Arberia, Spain.

--riverman
who supposes then, that this she is not truly germaine. Or Minnesotan..

There's a TV tower over by Fargo that's 2,063 ft. It's the highest
structure in the world.

I was going to suggest the IDS Tower, but I decided to google it first.
It's only 792 feet. Damn.
