==========================================================================================    Subject:
Old Norwegian
A hooded robber burst into a Wisconsin bank and forced the tellers to load a sack full of cash.
On his way out the door, a brave Wisconsin customer grabbed the hood and pulled it off, revealing the
robbers face. The robber shot the customer without a moment's hesitation.
He then looked around the bank and noticed one of the tellers looking straight at him. The robber
instantly shot him also. Everyone in the bank, by now very scared, looked intently down at the floor in
silence.
The robber yelled, "Well, did anyone else see my face?"
There are a few moments of utter silence in which everyone was plainly too afraid to speak.
Then, one old Norwegian named Ole from Wisconsin tentatively raised his hand and said, "My wife got a
pretty good look at you."
