Ole & Lena's Accident

Author Unknown

Ole and Lena die in a horrible accident and wake up in hell. The next day the devil stops in to check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and bomber hats warming themselves around the fire.

The devil asks them, "What are you two doing? Isn't it hot enough for you?"

Ole replies, "Vell, ya know, we're from nordern Minnesoda, the land of snow, ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a little bit, ya know."

This gets the devil a little steamed up and he decides to fix the two. He cranks the heat up as high as it will go. The other people in hell are wailing and screaming every where. He stops by the room with Ole and Lena and finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling walleye and drinking beer.

The devil is astonished, "Everyone down here is in absolute misery, yet you two seem to be enjoying yourself."

Ole and Lena reply, "Vell, ya know, we don't get too much warm weather up dere in Squaw Lake, we've just got to have a fish fry when the weathers this nice."

The devil is absolutely furious, he can hardly see straight. Finally he comes up with the answer. The two love the heat because they have been cold all their lives, so the devil decides to turn all the heat off in hell.

The next morning, the temperature is below zero, icicles are hanging everywhere, people are shivering so hard that they are unable to wail or moan.

The devil smiles and heads for the room where Ole and Lena are. He gets there and finds them back in their parkas, bomber hats, and mittens. They are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling and screaming like maniac's.

The devil is dumbfounded, "I don't understand, when I turn up the heat you're happy. Now its freezing cold and you're still happy. What is wrong with you two?"

Ole and Lena look at the devil in surprise, "Vell, don't ya know, if hell froze over dat must mean da Vikings won da Super Bowl."
