Ole and Sven
Ole and Sven grabbed their poles and headed out to do some ice fishing. As they were auguring a hole in the ice they heard a loud voice from above say, “There are no fish under the ice.”
Ole and Sven moved about 25 feet over and started to make another hole. The voice said, a little stronger, “There are no fish under the ice.”
They both looked around and then looked up. Ole said in a humble voice, “Are you God?”
The voice spoke back: “No, ya idiots! I’m the ice rink attendant.”
