Last night on Leif Erikson Day

Today my dad sent me this email,

"Today is Leif Erikson day. I learned today that Leif Erikson had a son named Thorkell Leifsson. I'm guessing Leif's Dad was named Erick. So in true Scandinavian tradition, your last name should not be Christensen but Studson."

Well played dad...

My father and I have trained my mother well

Me: I'll just go to the bank on Monday.

Mom: The banks aren't open tomorrow.

Me: What stupid holiday is it now?

Mom: Leif Erikson Day...

My History professor asked us to write some jokes on the back of our history final for extra credit. After the groans from everyone I told it to, I think it belongs here.

Why was Leif Erikson not accredited with discovering the New World?

Because if he had put some roots down, he would have been Tree Erikson.
