Nighttime assaults have become a national scourge.
I went up to our Minister of Justice and asked him
if there weren't at least four night constables
in a big city without houses and light and water?
That's just fine, said Gundersen, that will be enough
Some nighttime assaults can always be expected.
We pick up a couple of three bodies every other night, that's all,
we usually take that as normal.
Then my brother-in-law was lucky in the Greenland camp, then.
He escaped with a broken and fractured kneecap.
When he woke up, he was admitted to the Mandalsgata planing plant
and the result is that now he has a wooden leg.
That's just fine, said Gundersen, he will manage with that
if his leg is made of birch wood.
A tram conductor came in and screamed that he had been beaten up
by three masked thieves so he screamed so the street was shaking
they had to drop their bags and they had only got
twenty-three kroner when they ran.
That's enough, said Gundersen, they'll manage with that.
That's exactly a bottle of brandy divided by three.
The man screamed "I want a gas pistol!", but then Gundersen said,
"Huff no, you could hurt someone with that!"
"What hurt someone?" said the conductor and jumped up
"Is the swine going to fly and run that business?
While an honest man is going to limp around with a beaten body,
look here, I've got a tooth left in my mouth!"
That's enough, said Gundersen, for next time my friend
Then you can bite off a little with it.
Suddenly a woman came in and screamed that one of the swine
had just attacked her at a woolen mill somewhere.
He twisted off her coat and managed to pull her up into the bushes
and tried, but had to give it up.
That's enough, said Gundersen, he can handle it.
Because what the guy didn't do, we can't do nothing about
She cried and begged to bring a man from the police,
and he seemed to take it like a joke.
"Tell me, how are you dressed, my little lady," he asked
"Is that silk and rubber?"
"No, excuse me," she said, "I have a cotton shirt and a tie
solid stuff from the factories in Nydalen.
That's just fine, said Gundersen, that will be enough
then you don't need a policeman.
