Lena and Ole Figures and Joke Books
The newest Lena and Ole to hit the store are the Lena and Ole bobble heads (they're $24/pair plus $5.00 shipping) which Ole thinks is highway robbery but Lena hope's there's some bobble head collectors out there — actually Ole said they (the collectors) must be bobble heads! (Actually they're gone from the store BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT THEM LENA WILL ORDER THEM, if she has to!! She told the wholesaler that talked her into it that no one would want them. So she returned them to the wholesaler for credit. NOW THAT'S ONE REALLY THRIFTY NORWEGIAN1!
If you need some more jokes about Lena and Ole (notice Lena always likes to list herself first), we've got lots of the Red Stangland Ole and Lena Joke books (#1 – #7). Now Ole says those are a bargain — still only $2.50 each plus shipping — $1.00 each. "Cheap, says Ole". Call 715-698-4111 if you need the bobble heads and/or the books. We'll discuss shipping if you order lots of stuff!
Joke of the Week: The Swede & the Norwegians
A Swede enters the Wildwood Bar in Woodville where he stopped for the night. He grabs a barstool and orders a drink. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a Norwegian joke?
The Bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman him says, "before you tell that koke, sir, I think it is only fair — given that you are new here — you should know five things:
1. The bartender is a Norwegian.
2. The bouncer is a Norwegian.
3. I'm Norwegian and a professional weightlifter.
4. The woman sitting next to me is Norwegian with a black belt in karate.
5. The man to your right is a Norwegian and a prorfessional wrestler.
Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke? The Swede thinks about it for a second, shakes his head, and declares: "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."
Thanks to my cousin, Howard, for this great joke!

" I say ve hit da gas pedal and go for it".
