I have a friend named Per Vang... heh.

Ya know, I should toss some lutefisk in the Mississippi just for that. But being nice and all up here I'll just toss in the pickled herring.

I worked in Michigan for about a year surveying for an oil company. Working teh donut from Manastee to Traverse City to Petosky to Rogers City and down in the Ann Arbor area. I got to where I loved pickled herring. When I came back to Louisiana my pals opined that pickled herring was gross, while eating crawfish, oyster and andouille gumbo.

We dined at a nice resaturant while in Helsinki where one of the attractions was the 'Herring Bar'...I'm willing to eat practically anything that can't eat me first so I ordered the 'bar' thinking that it would take a couple of passes down the bar to fill me up. Man, are those things rich!!! One trip though was all I could manage.

Remind me sometime to tell you about eating €400 worth of 'crawfish' at the Savoy in Helsinki.

Two priests from Minnesota were standing next to each other at the urinals. One looked over and noticed that the other had a Nicoderm patch on his penis. The first said that he was pretty sure that the patch was supposed to go on his arm. The second said that the patch seemed to be working ok because he was down to just two butts a day.
