Nuke the Punchlines- Steve H Edition

Last week Steve H judged some of the straight lines. Here are his picks:

January 27th, 2014
Obama’s new ambassador to Norway made several erroneous statements about the country, including…

#5. FormerHostage says:
The Norwagians speak Norwese.

#4. can of spam says:
… that we are aware that 50% of the population of Minnesota and Wisconsin are on ready to mobilize and take over when Norway starts its campaign of conquest, and we’re ready for ‘em!

#3. walruskkkch says:
“I’m pleased to be here.”
Obama assured me you have the best Dog in the world.
This is where Fjords are built.  (Walrus left the first of many Fjord puns, so gets credit)

“I look forward to visiting your lush tropical beaches.”
I have found you Kunta Kinte!

#2. Bob B says:
…that the Norsemen notoriously pillaged vowels from across the continent, thus you have places such as Gdansk. (They use umlauts to identify the pilfered letters)

#1. Jeff in South Dakota says:
A Møøse once bit my sister… No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge – her brother-in-law – an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink”…

With a salute to Gebiv , can of spam, and FormerHostage for Followup Puns (in true Python tradition)!
