As any true Yooper knows, there are many jokes out there about life Up North! Here are some that I have found.
The Adventures of Eino and Toivo
Eino went to the pasty shop one day and came out with a bag of pasties. Toivo saw him and yelled, "Hey, Eino! I'll bet you all of those pasties that I can tell you how many are in the bag." Eino thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, Toivo. I'll give you both pasties if you guess how many are in here." Toivo paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "I know! You've got five pasties!"
Da Fingers
Heikki was working at the fish plant in Chassell when he accidentally cut off all ten of his fingers. He went directly to the emergency room in Hancock.
The doctor looked at Heikki and said, "Let's have da fingers and I'll see what I can do."
Heikki said, "I haven't got da fingers."
"What do you mean, you haven't got da fingers? It's 2004! We got microsurgery and all kinds of incredible techniques. I could have put dem back on and made you like new again. Why didn't you bring da fingers?"
Are you ready for this? Remember this is a Yooper...
Heikki says, "How da Hell was I suppose to pick dem up???"
