Sven was an immigrant worker who worked in a grain processing mill and lived in a boarding house. Every day after coming home from work he would clean up and have dinner in the parlor with his landlady, Mrs. Johnson and the other boarders. After dinner he would retire to his room and shower and do his business in the bathroom. One day Sven discovered that he was nearly out of toilet paper. He decided to bring home some corn cobs from work. He smuggled them in 4 at a time shoved inside his pockets. After using them he put them in the cupboard under the bathroom sink. One day when Mrs. Johnson was putting clean linens and towels in Sven’s room she noticed the smell of the soiled corn cobs. That night at dinner she decided she was going to ask him about the corn cobs.
As Sven sat down she asked, “Sven, what are those nasty corn cobs doing in your room?”
“Vell, Missis Yohnson, I am all runned out ov de toilet paper.”
Mrs. Johnson replied “You have a tongue, don’t you?”
“Ya, I do” said Sven, “But I ain’t got no neck like da goose.”
At least that's the way I remember my dad telling it
