MINNESOTA Declares War on the USA
President Barack Obama was in the Oval Office
when his telephone rang.
"Hello, President Obama," a heavily accented Norwegian voice said.
"'Dis here is Sven,
over here at the Muni Liquor Store in Menahga, Minnesota.
Ve don't like some a yer policies
so I am callin' to tell ya
that we are officially declaring war on ya!"
"Well, Sven," Barack replied,
"This is indeed important news!
How big is your army?"
"Right now," said Sven, after a moment's calculation,
"there is myself, my cousin Knute, my next-door-neighbor Ole,
and the whole pool team from the Muni "
Barack paused,
"I must tell you Sven that I have one million men in my army
waiting to move on my command."
"Wow," said Sven,
"I'll haf ta call ya back!"
Sure enough, the next day, Sven called again.
"Mr. Obama, da war is still on!
We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"
"And what equipment would that be, Sven?" Barack asked.
"Vell sir, ve got two combines,a bulldozer,and Sigurd's farm tractor."
President Obama sighed.
"I must tell you Sven, that I have 16,000 tanks
and 14,000 armored personnel carriers.
Also I've increased my army to one and a half million
since we last spoke."
"All right den, said Sven. "I'll be getting back to ya."
Sure enough, Sven rang again the next day...
"President Obama, da war is still on!
We have managed to git ourselves airborne!
We up an' modified Ole's ultra-light vit a couple'a shotguns
in da cockpit, and four boys from the coffee shop haf joined us as vell!"
Barack was silent for a minute then cleared his throat.
"I must tell you, Sven, that I have
10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes.
My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided,
surface-to-air missile sites.
And since we last spoke,
I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"
"Two million you say?," said Sven,
"l'll haf' to call you back."
Sure enough, Sven called again the next day.
"President Obama! I am sorry to have to tell you that
we have had to call off this here war."
"I'm sorry to hear that," said Barack.
"Why the sudden change of heart?"
Vell, sir," said Sven,
"we've all sat ourselves down and had a long chat over a few
beers, and come to realize that there's yust no vay
ve can feed two million prisoners."

First off it is Winona and it is down river from St Paul. Lake Wobegon is the other direction.. That Kake Wibegon can't be found on a map is the result of a charting error in the old days. You see thr cartographers had to carry their charts in horse pouches as they move across the state-to-be. Well, those charts developed 'folds' that stayed put and when they were unrolled back in the capitol-to-be fir copying Lake Wobegone got under a fold and the final map makers didn't notice. Students of those early time seem to have narrowed things down to somewhere between St Cloud and Alexandria.
