Odd Lunde Børretzen (født 21. november 1926 i Fister i Hjelmeland, død 3. november 2012 i Tønsberg) var en norsk forfatter, illustratør, oversetter og vokalist. Han var særlig kjent for humoristiske og satiriske selvillustrerte bøker og for sine radiokåserier. Etter 1995 nådde han ut til et stort norsk publikum med sine viser med vittige og livsfilosofiske tekster, hvorav albumet og tittelsporet «Noen ganger er det all right» er blant de mest kjente.

Quotes by Odd Børretzen (?)

“The best way to tell whether the Norwegian is a Norwegian is to say:
"Are you Swedish?"
Regardless whether you say this in English, French, Italian, Japanese, Urdu or Swahili, he will answer:
"Swedish? Me? I'm a Norwegian!"
Then you will be able to tell.”

“Previously, until a few years ago, it was customary for the Norwegian to be born with skis on his feet. But one of the improvements that has been made is that this is no longer the case*. Modern research has revealed, in fact, that this could be very uncomfortable and, to some extent, dangerous to the mother.
*It still happens that the birth takes place with skis on the feet, but now it is most often the mother who has the skis on during the birth.”

“If, in our day, you should see a polar bear in a Norwegian street, especially in the dead of night, you should tentatively say to the animal: "Good evening?" If the polar bear answers, "Shutyourbigmouth!" or something that sounds like this, in all likelihood, this is not a polar bear but a Norwegian on his way home from a party.”
