Viking Lore

A Minnesota Viking family of football supporters head out one
Saturday to do their Christmas shopping. While in the sports
shop the son picks up a PACKER jersey and says to his older sister,
"I've decided to become a PACKER fan and I would like this for
Christmas".

His big sister is outraged by this and promptly whacks him round
the head and says, "Go talk to mother".

Off goes the little lad with the PACKER jersey in hand and finds
his mother. "Mom?"

"Yes son?"

"I've decided I'm going to be a PACKER fan and I would like this jersey
for Christmas".

The mother is outraged at this, promptly whacks him around the head
and says, "Go talk to your father!"

Off he goes with the PACKER jersey in hand and finds his father. "Dad?"

"Yes son?"

"I've decided I'm going to be a PACKER fan and I would like this jersey
for Christmas".

The father is outraged and promptly whacks his son around the head
and says, "No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!"

About half an hour later they're all back in the car and heading
towards home. The father turns to his son and says "Son, I hope
you've learned something today?"

The son says, "Yes, Dad, I have."

"Good son, what is it?" The son replies, "I've only been a PACKER fan
for an hour and I already hate you Viking Bastards."
