In my neck of the woods, the Dakotas and Minnesota, we are in the habit of telling stories about Norwegians.
Ole and Lars had gone fishing and the two of them were sitting in the boat when Lars felt an urge to light up and smoke a cigarrette. He asked Ole if he had a lighter or a book of matches on hand and Ole reaches into his tackle box and he pulls out this huge Bic lighter, the thing is a foot long!
Lars says to Ole, yesus, Ole, where da heck did ya get that huge Bic lighter? I've never seen a monster like dat before!!
Ole responds by saying, I've got a genie in my tool box. Go ahead and rub my tool box's lid and maybe he vil come out and grant you a vish.
Lars rubs the lid of Ole's tool box and "POOF", a genie appeared from out of nowhere. The genie says to Lars, "I will grant you one wish, so wish for anything you want." Lars goes "Oh boy!!" "Genie, I vish for a million bucks!" The genie says to him, you've got it, your wish is my command!" And in an instant the sky above Lars and Ole is blackened with hundreds of thousands of mallard ducks.
Lars looks at Ole with a disgusted look on his face and says, "Hey Ole, I tink your stupid genie is a little hard of hearing!" Ole's response was, "Vell Yeah, how do you tink I got dis foot long Bic?!"

Good Ole Boys go ice fishing
Next thing you know, Billy and Tommy are in the truck on their way to "Canader". After they crossed the border, and saw the sign saying "Entering Canada" they stopped at the first bait shop they could find. They asked for directions to the closest place they could do that there "Ahs fishin", and got directions. Then they got some beer (naturally). Then they asked if there was anything special they needed for "ahs fishin". The shop owner informed them they would need an ice pick, so they got one.
About two hours later, Tommy was back at the shop and said, "We're gone need anudder ten o'dem ahs picks." Well, the fellow in the shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't. He sold him the picks, and the old boy left.
In about an hour, he was back, saying "We're gone need all th'ahs picks y'all got."
This really made the shop owner curious. "By the way," he asked, "how are you fellows doing?"
"Not sa good," he said. "We ain't even got the boat in the water yet."

did you ever get it to work? It's standard Microsoft Windows procedure. Fill us in on what happened, since "it didn't work" could cover a whole lot of scenarios.
Also one variation is instead of "move your coursor over the text while holding down the select button", press Ctrl-A, which will highlight All text in the window. Then back to the instructions: Ctrl-C to copy, open a text editor such as notepad, Ctrl-V to paste. That will probably paste more than you want, but then you can just edit the notepad to throw away the extra stuff. I find that's usually easier than trying to move the cursor and hold down the mouse button at the same time to fine tune the original selection, especially if I wanted most of the page in the first place.

Fishing contest The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win.. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election. Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest between the two candidates to determine the winner. After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, Obama returned to the starting line and he had ten fish. Soon, John McCain returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day. At the end of the 2nd day Obama came in with 20 fish and McCain came in again with none. That evening, Rick Davis got together secretly with John McCain and said, 'John, I think Obama is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.' The next night (after Obama returns with 50 fish), Rick said to John McCain, 'Well, tell me, how is Obama. cheating?' John McCain replied, 'Rick, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting holes in the ice!'

Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.
The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.
The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize. "Please allow me to help. I'm a Physical Therapistand I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow me", she told him.
'Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' the man replied.
He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands at his groin.
At her insistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside.
She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, "How does that feel"?
He replied: "It feels great, but I think my thumb's still broken!"

NEW AIRLINE RULES Attendant: Welcome aboard Ala Carte Air, sir. May I see your ticket? Passenger: Sure. Attendant: You're in seat 12B. That will be $5, please! Passenger: What for? Attendant: For telling you where to sit. Passenger: But I already knew where to sit. Attendant: Nevertheless, we are now charging a seat locator fee of $5. It's the airline's new policy. Passenger: That's the craziest thing I ever heard. I won't pay it. Attendant: Sir, do you want a seat on this flight, or not? Passenger: Yes, yes. All right, I'll pay. But the airline is going to hear about this. Attendant: Thank you. My goodness, your carry-on bag looks heavy. Would you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for you? Passenger: That would be swell, thanks. Attendant: No problem. Up we go, and done! That will be $10, please. Passenger: What? Attendant: The airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance fee. Passenger: This is extortion. I won't stand for it. Attendant: Actually, you're right, you can't stand. You need to sit, and fasten your seat belt. We're about to push back from the gate. But, first I need that $10. Passenger: No way! Attendant: Sir, if you don't comply, I will be forced to call the air marshal. And you really don't want me to do that. Passenger: Why not? Is he going to shoot me? Attendant: No, but there's a $50 air-marshal hailing fee. Passenger: Oh, all right, here, take the $10. I can't believe this. Attendant: Thank you for your cooperation, sir. Is there anything else I can do for you? Passenger: Yes. It's stuffy in here, and my overhead fan doesn't seem to work. Can you fix it? Attendant: Your overhead fan is not broken, sir. Just insert two quarters into the overhead coin slot for the first five minutes. Passenger: The airline is charging me for cabin air? Attendant: Of course not, sir. Stagnant cabin air is provided free of charge. It's the circulating air that costs 50 cents. Passenger: I don't have any quarters. Can you make change for a dollar? Attendant: Certainly, sir! Here you go! Passenger: But you've given me only three quarters for my dollar. Attendant: Yes, there's a change making fee of 25 cents. Passenger: For cryin' out loud. All I have left is a lousy quarter? What the heck can I do with this? Attendant: Hang onto it. You'll need it later for the lavatory.

A woman tells her man, "you better take me out someplace expensive". So he takes her to the gas station.
Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the state fair every year. Every year Stumpy would say, "Martha, I'd like to ride in that there airplane." And every year Martha would say, "I know Stumpy, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars." One year Stumpy and Martha went to the fair and Stumpy said, "Martha, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance." Martha replied, "Stumpy, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
