Government surveyors came to Ole's farm in the fall and asked if they could
do some surveying. Ole agreed and Lena even served them a nice meal at
noontime.
The next spring, the two surveyors stopped by and told Ole, "Because you
were so kind to us, we wanted to give you this bad news in person instead of
by letter.
Ole replied, "What's the bad news?
The surveyors stated, "Well, after our work we discovered your farm is not
in Minnesota, but is actually in South Dakota!"
Ole looked at Lena and said," That's the best news I have heard in a long
time. Why I just told Lena this morning, I don't think I can take another
winter in Minnesota."

Idaho SharpshooterOle and Lena take their 25th wedding anniversary re-honeymoon to the Oregon Coast. Second night, they are walking hand-in-hand on the beach when Ole sees something bobbing in the waves. He wades out to get it, and yessir; it is some kind of brass lamp. Lena she rubs it to clean the grunge off, and yessir, out pops one of those Genies, just like in the movies.
He thanks them for rescuing him from the bottle and offers to grant them ONE WISH! Lena she talks to Ole, and Ole he talks to Lena and they come up with, yessir, one crackerjack of an idea. So Ole he tells the Genie that they miss the folks in the Old Country and want the Genie to build them a road to Norway so they can drive over for the holidays. The Genie says he can't do that, but anything else in the whole wide world, yessir, he will do that thing for them.
So Ole he talks to Lena, and Lena she talks to Ole and they get it by Gosh! Lena she tells the Genie that they want he should make Norwegians the smartest people on the entire planet.
Sooo, that Genie he sits there, and he scratches his head, and he thinks, and after five minutes of scratching and thinking he says to Lena; "...you want that road two lane or four...?".
