OK, first, a disclaimer. I know the following banter is a horrible stereotype of the Northern Mid-west population, but this popped into my head in the middle of the night and I just had to write it down. I apologize if it offends any of you, it's totally intended to be purely fun. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. ;o)

How
many sewing machines can you find?
Hidden in the story below are the Brand names of some makes of popular sewing machines. See how many you can recognize.
Sven and Ole are
sitting outside the Lutson’s General Store one blistering summer day, having a
soda and shootin’ the bull. Their
conversation goes something like this:
Sven: “So, Ole,
what ya been up to lately? Are ya
likin’ that new home ya’ built?”
Ole: “Ya, Sven,
you know it’s one o’ them Simplicity homes that snap together
just-like-that. They bring them
pieces on a big truck and one guy, he just hollers directions and the rest o’
them guys, they make that baby lock together in just one day!”
Sven: “Is that so?
Say, my sister Bernina’s lookin’ to build sometime soon, I’ll have
to tell her about that. You know she’s a singer down there in Kenmore, with tha
House of Polkas. She don’t talk
with us much, since she started seein’ that featherweight that plays for the
Husqvarna Vikings.”
Ole: “Say,
that’s too bad, Sven, she was always such a nice girl.
Is your brother still a dressmaker?”
Sven: “Pfaff!
He’s workin’ for some Euro-pro with his own line of designs.
Name’s Juki or somethin’. Last
time I seen him I says, “ C’mon, Rusty, don’t janome anymore?”
He’s getting’ a bit big for his britches too, I tell ya.”
Ole: “Sorry to
hear that, Sven. At least ya got
the little woman.”
Sven: “Nope, she
done took up with that custodian at the Sears store, and now they’re livin in
that little blue place with the white picket fence.”
Ole: “Boy, Sven,
it sounds like yer havin’ a rough time.”
Sven: “It’s not so bad, I get all my appliances at half price, and the big screen TV’s gettin delivered tomorrow.”
