More about a pun

[Even Flood]

Geirs entry about the ban on puns explains something that
has puzzeled me.

In the story "The Lemming with a Locket" Barks makes a
Norwegian pun! 

When the Ducks enter the cheese shop after comming to Norway 
there are some cheeses in the background labelled
NORD-OST
NORDOST
This means northeast in Norwegian, but could also be the
brand name of a cheese named Nordost or Northcheese. In this
context "ost" means both cheese and east.

It is remarkable that Barks made a pun in a foreign language
that only Scandinavians would understand.
It is even more remarkable that the labels were changed in
the Norwegian edition. I do not remember what the labels read then,
but I did not laugh.
