On the original TUG BBS software there was some Ole and Lena humor. Though I don't recall the particulars, there was a thread about Ole and Lena doing a timeshare review of Mugwump Towers after making a trade using their unit at their similarly disheveled resort located on a swampy lake shore in Minnesota. They visited the Towers in the winters and found it quite the pleasant place to be, because it wasn't snowy and cold and the atmosphere was just right, especially when you hung out down by the fish house.I knew we were scraping bottom when an Ole and Lena home pops up.
Ole passed away. The obituary writer from the newspaper called Lena for the particulars. She just said, that since they charge by the word just print, "Ole died". The writer told her there was a minimum charge and she could include some of her favorite things Ole would want to say. Lena said, OK, then print, "Ole died. Boat For Sale."

Every night when I turn off the lights and pull the covers up under my chin, I thank heaven that I got through another day without using algebra.

The Minnesota resort was named something like Frozen Fingers. The locals at FF were often amused by the city folks who got all upset when the kids would come out of the water at the "beach" with leeches on their legs and feet. The resort staff took to giving visitors instructions on how to remove a leech as well as activity ideas for the kids for what to do with your leech after you remove it. Things like how do you keep your leech alive, and suggestions on how to introduce your city cousins to the wonders of your leech collection, and pointers on what to say when you bring your leech collection to school for show-and-tell time.
There was also something in the thread involving lutefisk.Kind of glad I missed those days. LOL!
