There was an old Norwegian in the neighborhood (true story) folks called Sam Ting. I asked him once how he got such a non-Scandinavian sounding name. He told me as an immigrant coming through Ellis Island he was in a line of folks. The immigration officer asked one guy in front of him what his name was. He told him Ole Olson. Next guy Ole Olson. That was my name too so when he asked me my name I told him "Sam ting". He said welcome to America Sam.

from a Norwegian colleague of mine : Ole was stopped by a game warden in Northern Wisconsin recently leaving a lake well known for its Walleye. He had two buckets of fish. As it was during the spawning season, the game warden asked, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?" Ole replied, "No, sir! Dese here are my pet fish." "Pet fish?" the warden replied "Ya sure, you betcha." answered Ole. "Every night I take dese fish here down to da lake and let dem svim around for a while. Den I vistle and dey yump back into deir buckets and I take dem home." "That's a bunch of hooey. Fish can't do that," said the game warden. Ole looked at the game warden with an _expression of great hurt, and then said, "Yumpin Yimminy! Vell den, I'll just show you, It really does vork, don'tcha know?" "O.K. I've got to see this!" The game warden was really curious now. So Ole poured the fish into the lake and stood waiting. After several minutes, the game warden turned to Ole and said, "Well?" "Vell vhat?" responded Ole. "When are you going to call them back?" "Call who back?" asked Ole. "The fish!" "Vhat fish?" Watch out for those Norwegians! They're always a step ahead!
