    The Ten Commandments (Minnesota Version)

    The Ten Commandments (Minnesota Version)
    1. Der’s only one God, ya know.
    2. Don’t make that fish on your mantle an idol.
    3. Cussin ain’t Minnesota nice.
    4. Go to church even when you’re up nort.
    5. Honor your folks.
    6. Don’t kill. Catch and release.
    7. There’s only one Lena for every Ole. No cheatin.
    8. If it ain’t your lutefisk, don’t take it.
    9. Don’t be braggin bout how much snow ya shoveled.
    10. Keep your mind off your neighbor’s hotdish.

    Number 10 is definitely the most difficult to follow!


    There was a time that I didn't fish but I cannot remember it.

    I was born in Minnesota and still have a lake cabin up there. My wife laughs at me every summer whe we go to the lake. As soon as I talk to someone who has the "accent" it comes back for me also!

    It's pretty hilarious. I'm an Ohio transplant (from many, many years ago) and I work for a bunch of people that grew up in Daloot (the Norwegian Riviera, don't cha know) and it's difficult at times to carry on a conversation without laughing.
