(In my best Norsk accent:) As we used to say in Nort’ Dakota, 40 below keeps out the riff-raff and thins the herd.

Yeah, 40 below will do that, but the mosquitoes still found a way to survive, and they bred bigger.

I’m from North Dakota and my Dad used to say that all the time. It’s not true anymore. Welfare brings them in and keeps them warm.

In the 1980’s there was Dutch Elm disease. We had 11 elm trees cut down in the back yard including 2 giant elms. I had a tree house in one, we hung a rope swing on one of it’s huge arms. You heard the sound of chainsaws up and down the block.

40 below would keep me outta N. Dakota.... or anywhere else.(btw, I’m not riffraff....IMHO)
