The mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul have jointly announced that construction of a Super Bowl Trophy Case has been halted due to unseen circumstances.........like yesterdays lose to the Saints.

"We couldn't see wasting taxpayer money on something that isn't going to happen," the release said. Stoppage of construction has laid off woodworker Ole Svensen, who replied, "what am I gonna do now? My family was counting on dis here job to help with da groceries and shoes for der kids. Plus I got all dis here lumber sitting around now, you betcha!"

When asked what he thought of the game, Ole replied " You'da tink dey was playing at Yambeau Field on der frozen Tundra da way dey fumbled da ball around. Whatta dey do before da game, wash der hands in Quaker State? And dat der Fav-or fellow, he got more picks den my cousin Olaf out der in Yakima who picks apples for der livin'."

Ole then got a smile on his face and said, " Ya know, I gonna take dat der lumber and make a boat. Den I haul it out to Minnetonka and put it on der lake and rent it out to da Viking players dis summer. Ya know, parties and such. I tink dey all could use some fun time. Ya, I gonna make a killing on dis ting, you betcha. Maybe dat der Mike Tice would be da Captain of my boat. I wonder where dat guy is now, you betcha?"
