Garrison Keillor: brought to you by NPR, Norwegian Petroleum Reserves.
Tim Russell (NORSK): We've got it and if you expect to get any, cut out the Norwegian jokes. We mean it. The Ole and Lena jokes and all of them. The one about the Norwegian lottery where you win a dollar a year for a million years. The Norwegian counterfeiter who erased the zeros from the 20s. The lutefisk jokes and so on. No more jokes. The shoe is now on the other hand. We have what you need. You want some, be nice.
