Pretty Good Jokes
A Swede and a Norwegian hear about a $99 cruise offer and decide to take advantage. The Swede goes to the travel agent and pays his money. The travel agent wraps him in a blanket and throws him in the river. The Norwegian signs up and the same thing happened to him. A couple of days later the two bump into each other down stream and the Swede asks, "You suppose they're going to serve any food on this cruise?" The Norwegian answers, "They didn't last year!"
