Good Morning, Ditter!!!!! I am from Minnesota - I am a Swede (half German) and my grandfather was from Sweden and his name was Ole!!!!!! He sounded just like that!!!!! My name is Edie - he always called me Ay-dit. Swedish pronunciation!!!! I love Minnesota Swede, Ole and Lena jokes. If I can find the ones I have, I will certainly put them in here. Thanks for the laugh on a cold blustery windy grey day!!!!!!! Edie

hee hee... I love Lena & Ole jokes, even if Lena didn't appear this time. Keep 'em coming, Ditter! All my Norwegian friends at church will love this.

You know, coming from Minnesota I have heard these for years... and they are still funny! I just wish that they would dispense with the horrible Scandinavian accents. We have more Germans in Minnesota than Scandinavians.
