One dark night outside a small town in Wisconsin, a fire started
inside the local chemical plant and in a blink of an eye it
exploded into massive flames. The alarm went out to all the fire
departments for miles around.


When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the
chemical company president rushed to the fire chief and said,
"All our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the
plant. They must be saved. I will give $50,000 to the fire
department that brings them out intact."

But the roaring flames held the firefighters off.
Soon more fire departments had to be called in as the situation
became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president shouted
out the offer was now $100,000 to the fire department who could
bring out the company's secret files.

From the distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck
came into sight. It was the nearby Norwegian rural township
volunteer fire company composed mainly of Norwegians over the
age of 65. To everyone's amazement, that little run-down fire
engine roared right past all the newer sleek engines that
were parked outside the plant.

Without even slowing down it drove straight into the middle of
the inferno. Outside, the other firemen watched as the Norwegian
old timers jumped off right in the middle of the fire fought it back
on all sides. It was a performance and effort never seen before.
Within a short time, the Norske old timers had extinguished the
fire and had saved the secret formulas. The grateful chemical
company president announced that for such a superhuman feat
he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally
thank each of the brave fire fighters.

The local TV news reporter rushed in to capture the event on film,
asking their chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?"
"Vell," said Ole Larsen, the 70-year-old fire chief, "Da first
thing ve gonna do is fix da brakes on dat truck!"

 

Liked Jerry Clower's version better,but that was still funny

 

Didn't see that coming... hahaha

 

That's funny and reminds me of another joke.

A man was interviewing a Swedish WW I fighter pilot for a TV special. This pilot had logged the most kills in all of the Swedish air force. The interviewer asked the retired pilot about the time he recorded 5 kills in one day. The pilot replied, "Vell, ve vere flying vhen ve got split up by some Jerman ****ers." The interviewer interupted the pilot and said "Now, ****ers is a German plane correct." The pilot replied, "Ja, but dese ****ers were flying Meshcerschmidts!"

I know, its pretty bad, but felt it needed to be passed along anyway. I probly screwed it up real bad, too.
