Sven and Ole and the Odoriferous Cow

[cindi o'h]

Ole and Sven are neighbors in Southern Manitoba. Ole is in need of a new milk cow. He hears about a nice one for sale over the border in Minnesota. He drives down to Minnesota, looks at the cow, and reaches under to see if she gives milk. When he grabs the teat and pulls, the cow breaks wind. Ole is very surprised, looks at the farmer who is selling the cow, and reaches under the cow to try again. He reaches under and grabs a different teat and the cow farts again. Milk does not come out, so after some discussion, Ole decides to buy the cow anyway and haul her back home to Manitoba.

He calls his neighbor,Sven, and says, "Come over here and take a look at dis here new cow I just bought. Pull her teat and see what happens." Sven reaches under and pulls. The cow farts. Sven looks at Ole and says, "You bought dis here cow in Minnesota, yah?" Ole is very surprised, and says, "Yah, dats right, how did you know, then?" Sven says, "My wife is from Minnesota."
