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.

(Did you recognize 'Oh, Susanna'? Damned if I could fit in Sogn og Fjordane.)

Oh my name is Arne Tokvam
From the little town of Flam;
I went shopping with brother Oystein
At a shop not far from home.

There were two fair young ladies there
And we began to chat
I said "Oystein's eighty, I'm seventy-three;
What do you think of that?"

CHORUS:
Oy, oy, Oystein -- ain't we having fun?
But it cost a lot for what we got,
When all's said and done!

They said, "Let's go up to your house
We'll show you a thing or two
That you haven't seen in many years
You little old devils, you!"

And true they each one showed us two,
Between them they had four,
Oystein said, "I tell you Arne,
I can't remember having this much fun before!"

CHORUS

The girls laughed too, so hard they cried
They feared they'd wet their drawers.
While they rushed off to the toilet
We were rolling on the floor.

How long they took, we thought it droll,
Midst sniggers and guffaws,
We doubled up when we recalled,
They weren't actually wearing drawers!

CHORUS

Concerned, we went in search of them,
They and the cupboard were bare
All our savings they had stolen,
But we just didn't care.

I said, "Oystein, wasn't this one great day?"
He said, "Arne, you are so right,
'Who wants to be a millionaire' came
To Flom, and met 'Entertainment Tonight'"!
