Norwegian jokes?

I am of Norwegian descent and cannot recall ever hearing one.

Must be Norwegian privilege! LOL!

In various parts of the country, (Minnesota, North Dakota,) with a high population of Norwegian immigrants, it was common to substitute Norwegians for Pollack’s when telling jokes..

This was indeed a few decades ago however..

That's interesting. I live in a part of the country with a very large Norwegian population...western Wisconsin. I've heard numerous Norwegian jokes from people with full Norwegian ancestry.

I am of Norwegian descent too in fact my later father was born in Norway. The joke he liked and told often was “You can always tell a Norwegian. But you can’t tell him much”.
