"No, I don't," said Ole. "A canoe will sometimes tip," explained Lars. Ole and Lena got married. On their honeymoon trip they were nearing Minneapolis when Ole put his hand on Lena's knee. Giggling, Lena said, "Ole, you can go a little farther now if ya vant to"... so Ole drove to Duluth. Ole and Sven grabbed their poles and headed out to do some ice fishing. As they were augering a hole in the ice they heard a loud voice from above say, "There are no fish under the ice." Ole an Sven moved about 25 feet over and started to make another hole. The voice said a little stronger, " There are no fish under the ice." They both looked around and then looked up. Ole said in a humble voice, "Are you God?" The voice spoke back, "No ya idiots! I'm the ice rink attendant." "Hey Sven, " said Ole, "how many Swedes does it take to grease a Combine?" After Sven replied, "I don't know." Ole said, "Only two, if you run them through real slow." • From Wilipedia on Lutefisk The Ole and Lena joke books make frequent references to lutefisk, for example: Well, we tried the lutefisk trick and the raccoons went away, but now we've got a family of Norwegians living under our house! • Lutefisk Christmas Story • My Favorite Ole and Lena Ole lay dying upstairs in his bed. His thoughts wandered to his favorite food, lefsa. He thought that if he could just have one more taste, he would be ready to leave this life. Then Ole smelled the aroma of fresh baked lefsa wafting through the house. He managed to gather all his strength and crawled out of bed and to the stairs. He slowly craweled down using all his fading energy, having to stop often to rest, but the aroma of the fresh lefsa kept him going. He finally got down and crawled to the kitchen table and reached up for his last taste of Lena's lefsa. She reached over, slapped his hand and said, "Don't you touch dat - dats fer da funeral." • This one is on youtube This one was recommended by my friend James P. Nelson. It requires some patience. • ... • ... • ... • ... • ... |
