Minnesota winters

Government surveyors came to Ole's Minnesota farm last spring and asked if they could do some surveying.  Ole agreed, and Lena even served them a nice meal at noontime.

After their work was done, the surveyors told Ole, “You were so kind to us; we wanted to give you the bad news in person, instead of by letter.”

“What's the bad news?” asked Ole.

“Well, your farm is right on the state line,” the surveyors said, “and after our work was completed, we discovered your farm is not in Minnesota.  It's actually in Iowa.”

“That's the best news I've had in a long time,” said Ole.  “I was just telling Lena this morning that I don't think I can take another winter in Minnesota!”

Roland gets married

Roland decided to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend.

One evening, after the honeymoon, he was cleaning his golf clubs for his Saturday game.

His wife was standing at the bench watching him. After a long period of silence she finally speaks.

"Honey, I've been thinking, now that we are married I think it's time you quit playing so much golf. 

Maybe you should sell your clubs and cancel your membership at the golf club."

Roland gets this horrified look on his face.

She says, "Darling, what's wrong?"

He says, "There for a minute you were sounding like my ex-wife."

"Ex-wife!" she screams, "I didn't know you were married before!" 

"I wasn't. "
