Pair Of Pensioners May Be Punters, But They're Not Prudes! -- A pair of Norwegian pensioners robbed by two strippers say they don't mind because it's a long time since they had so much fun. Arne and Oystein Tokvam, aged 73 and 80, say they invited the women to their home after meeting in a shop. The women then did a striptease before saying they needed the toilet. When they failed to re-appear the brothers realised they'd been robbed of £4,600 cash. "It's too bad about the money, but we just have to take it with good humour," Arne told the Bergens Tidende newspaper. "We're looking at it as entertainment. Very expensive, but absolutely entertaining." Local police in the small mountain town of Flam in Sogn og Fjordane are taking the theft far more seriously than its two victims. They cordoned off a large area around the brothers' home and have warrants out for the two women.

In Sogn og Fjordane's town of Flam, one morning late in May
To the precinct's hall came a sad phone call, well before the break of day!
Though the gent was pert, he said he'd been hurt, by two lassies sly and fair,
Who had shown their stuff from their hair to their muffs, and had suddenly disappeared!

From Haugesund up to far Femund,
And from Drammen and Tusenfryd
No shapely gal that I can recall
Ever did what those two girls did!

Well, the force rolled out with a rousing shout, flashing lights and sireens
And a score of cops interviewed those Pops who'd been had by the dance-hall queens
They rambled round and they scoured the town, and they blocked all the streets with cars
For to find those dames, those gals of shame, picking up old men in bars!

From Haugesund up to far Femund,
And from Drammen and Tusenfryd
No shapely gal that I can recall
Ever did what those two girls did!

Now the sergeant bold with his stripes of gold said the men had a charge to press;
And he noted clear every movement dear, every promise and caress;
But those Tokvam boys said "Belay that noise! And turn off that damned bright light!
Why we called fuzz, well the reason was, could ye get them back for tonight?"

From Haugesund up to far Femund,
And from Drammen and Tusenfryd
No shapely gal that I can recall
Ever did what those two girls did!
