Mods, sorry if this is in the wrong place.

An aquaintence of mine was wanting to use a phrase that his father always used as a signature line in a talk forum. He only knew part of it, and he wanted to know if it was part of something that would start an arguement if it was something bad.

All that he can remember is:

---Ten thousand Swedes ran through the weeds, chased by one Norwegian.....---

Can any of the Swedes or Norweigens here shed some light on this phrase?
No flames please, this is to avoid a flame in the future.

Ten thousand Swedes
Ran through the weeds,
Chased by one Norwegian.
He smelled so bad,
They sure were glad
When they had left the region.



Google my friend, Google.

I'm norwegian and I have never heard of it. Norwegian jokes about swedes (and the opposite) is quite common though.
