Sven and Ole
Sven and Ole were sitting on the front porch one evening, at opposite ends. Sven was listening to the sounds of the choir rehearsing at the Lutheran Church down the street, while Ole was listening to the crickets in the vacant lot next door. After a while, Sven broke the silence, saying, "Isn't that beautiful?" And Ole answered, "Yep, and to think they do it all by rubbing their legs together."
Sven was going for his morning walk one day when he walked past Ole's house and saw a sign that said "Boat For Sale." This confused Sven because he knew that Ole didn't own a boat, so he finally decided to go in and ask Ole about it. "Hey Ole," said Sven, "I noticed da sign in your yard dat says 'Boat For Sale,' but ya don't even have a boat. All ya have is your old John Deere tractor and combine." Ole replied "Yup, and they're boat for sale."
