Excerpt: Per Inge Torkelsen (born 21 March 1953) is a Norwegian comic, author, radio personality, and self declared clown. He is known for the Norwegian expression "Gi ungdommen en flaske brennevin for idretten tar dem" (English: Give the youth a bottle of liquor before they are lost to athletics).
