Ok, these are too funny:lol2:
I grew up in ND and have been in Mn for 14 yrs. and have to add the following:
!. You have ever been trick or treating with your costume over a snow suit
2. You go in the ditch 5 miles out of town and word gets back before you do.
3. You've passed a combine on main street
4. You know every dog in town by name, and every dog in town knows you by name.
5. You never dared do anything wrong because anyones parents could reprimand you and your parents backed them up
There are more but I can't think of them right now, I"m a little stressed out as I'm headed to my first clinical weekend of the second semester at 4:00:eek: First time I'll be doing meds so I'm a bit nervous..actually more about trying to get all the drug cards and care plan done by 0645 tomorrow morning:uhoh21:

you listen intently to ole and lena jokes:
ole in minnesota, while not a brilliant man, was a gifted portrait artist. his fame grew and soon people from all over the country were coming to him for painting. one day a beautiful woman pulled up to his house in a new mercedes. she asked ole if he would paint her in the nude. this was the first time anyone had made that request.
as he hesitated, she said money was no object; she was willing to pay $5000.
not wanting to get in trouble with his wife, ole asked the lady to wait while he went in the house to talk it over with lena, his wife. in a few minutes he returned and said to the beautiful young lady, "yah, shure, you betcha. i'll paint you in the nude.
but i'll haff to leave my socks on so i'll haff a place to vipe my brush".
