TallCool69 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 That was so funny! I have loads of relatives in Minnesota, decendants of my great-great uncles that left Sweden somewhere around 1800. But it could also apply to the north of Sweden - it sounds like my father's relatives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keri S Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Doesn't this crack you up? My sister sent it to me in an email and I was reading some of them and thinking "why is that so funny?" For example, the one about knowing several people who have hit deer more than once. That's a pretty regular occurence here. I see deer running through my backyard every other day!
