Ole and others

Ole and Clarence Ole lived across the Minnesota River from Clarence Bensen, whom he >> > didn't like at all. They were yelling across the river at each other all the time.



Ole would yell to Clarence, "If I had a vay to cross dis river, I'd >> > come ofver dere an beat you up good, yeah sure ya betcha by golly!"



This went on for years. Finally, the state built a bridge across the river right there by their houses.



Ole's wife, Lena , says, "Now iss yer chance, Ole. Vhy doncha go over dere and beat up dat Clarence like you said you vud?"





Ole replied, "OK, by yimmy, I tink I vill do yust dat!"



Ole started for the bridge, but he saw a sign on the bridge and stopped to read it, then turned around and came back home.



Lena asked, "Vhy did you come back?



Ole said, " Lena , I tink I changed my mind 'bout beatin' up dat Clarence.



You know, vhen I yell at him from across da river he don't look so big. But dey put a sign on da bridge dat says "Clarence is 13 ft. 6 In."
