An Ethnic Minnesota Joke:

Ole walks into the kitchen and finds Lena sitting at the table sobbing wildly.

"What's the problem?" he asks

She replies, "My brother Lars called to wish me happy birthday."

"So why did that upset you?" he asks.

In response she wails, "He's been arrested."

Ole asks, "What was he charged with?"

"I don't know," she sobs. "He just said he was calling me on his cell phone."
