We Are Pleased To Announce Yooper Air Is Now Operating In Minnysota.Also Serving Visconsin, Nort And Sout Dakota.

If you are travelin soon, consider Yooper Air, da no-frills airline.
You're all in da same boat on Yooper Air, where flyin is a upliftin
experience. Dere is no first class on any Yooper Air flight.

Meals are potluck. Rows 1-6, bring rolls; 7-15, bring a salad; 16-21, a
main dish, and 22-30, a dessert. Basses and tenors please sit in da rear
of da aircraft.

Everyone is responsible for his or her own baggage. All fares are by
free will offering and da plane will not land 'til da budget is met.

Pay attention to your flight attendant, who will acquaint you wit da
safety system aboard dis Yooper Air. Okay den, lis ten up. I'm only gonna
say dis vonce. In da event of a sudden loss of cab in pressure, I am
frankly going to be real surprised and so vill Captain Olson, because we fly right around two tousand feet, so loss of cabin pressure vould probably mean da Second Coming or someting of dat nature, and I vouldn't bodar with doze liddle masks on da rubber tubes. You're gonna have bigger tings to worry about den dat. Just stuff doze back up in dair little holes. Probably da masks fell out because of turbulence which, to be honest wit you, we're
going to have quite a bit of at two tousand feet, sorta like driving across
a plowed field, but after a while you get used to it.

In da avent of a water landing, I'd say forget it. Start saying da
Lord's Prayer and just hope you get to da part about forgive us our sins
as we forgive doze who sin against us, which some people say 'trespass
against us,' which isn't right, but what can you do?

Da use of cell phones on da plane is strictly forbidden, not because
daymay confuse da plane's navigation system, which is seat of da pants all
da way. No, it's because cell phones are a pain in da wazoo, and if God
meant you to use a cell phone, He would have put your mout on da side of
your head.

We start lunch right about noon and it's buffet style with da coffee
pot up front.
Den we'll have da hymn sing; hymnals are in da seat pocket in front of
you. Don't take yours wit you when you go or I am going to be real upset
and I am not kiddin !

Right now I'll say Grace: 'Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest and let
deze gifts to us be blessed. Fadar,Son, and Holy Ghost, may we land in Dulut or pretty close.'
Amen*

p.s. To understand this ~ it really helps if you are from
Michigan........Ya. *eh?*

Wondered why it said Minnesota, N/S Dakota, and didn't say Michigan at the beginning, part of our state being "Da You-Pee," where "Youpers" live.

Then I see you added Michigan at the bottom. Cute. Where'd you find this? :laughing

Jen brings back to my memory my mother's favorite negative. I also had a boss at the Round Barn Restaurant in Red Lodge, MT who was president of the local Sons of Norway organization that had Uff da as his license plate.

Ya, that airline must have started up since I left Fargo, ND in 1948 or does it go that far west?

Nobody has replied yet who has indicated that they ever actually lived in Yooper Country. I pastored in the UP from 1982-1987. I can vouch that while much of the Yooper humor is exaggerated, it really isn't too much of a stretch. (Think Escanaba in da Moonlight) Where else do schools close for opening day of firearm deer season? In 5 years there, we never canceled a Sunday service for snow or cold because the people were used to it. We did not plant our tomatoes until the middle of June due to the possibility of frost. We pulled the vines with green tomatoes and ripened them in our basement under newspaper. When my wife made her 25 mile drive to work, she was often out in the morning before the snow plows (pre-cell phone days). High school baseball teams did not begin their season till after school was let out for the summer. Need I say more?

Well, I never lived there, but I hung out there enough. In fact, one Christmas we got snowed in (went up there between Christmas & NY's), because they wouldn't let anyone across the bridge! ;) So, I'm glad I never got to live there. :laughing

Are any of you aware of Ole and Lena jokes? They are very popular up north.

Ole and Lena are sitting at the breakfast table. Lena is reading the morning paper.
Lena says, "It snowed last night, Ole. The snow ordinance is in effect so you'll have to park da car on da other side of da street."
The next morning, the same thing it.
Lena says, "It snowed again last night, Ole, you'll have to park on dith side of da street today."
Well, it snowed every night that week and Ole had to park the car on the opposite side of the street every day so the city could clear the snow. Finally they were sitting at the breakfast table on Saturday morning. Lena is reading the paper.
Lena says, "Well finally, it didn't snow last night so you won't have to park on da other side of da street."
Ole says, "Good, by yimminy, I think I'll leave da car in da garage today."

Ole was cutting fire wood up by the Canadian border. The Canadian border patrol stopped along the road and yelled over to Ole and said, "Eh, who are you and what you doing, eh?
Ole yells back, "I'm Ole, bin loggin."
The Canadians shot him.
