    I’m going to be honest. I looked up Lutefisk. One of the first things that came up was a picture of a Lutefisk drying rack. I immediately thought, “How do the keep the racoons from from eating all the fish?”

    It then occurred to me that Racoons are native to North America, not Norway and the Norwegians are lucky bastards. Well… Outside of having to eat Lutefisk that is.

      I mean, it’s cured in lye so I don’t think any creature would eat it willingly. Humans are an odd bunch, we are.

      Lsen -> “Listen [,]”

      OlsenFish -> “I’ll send fish”

      Lutefisk is a Norwegian dish made from dried white fish cured in lye. It’s a dish that is served here in Minnesota. The joke is about the need for a lutefisk hotline (cause why would anyone need lutefisk that badly?) and the idea that they might sell out. Plus the implied accents.
