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

Great joke Cow. I sent it on to a couple Minnesotan friends here (Oregon is so thick with Minnesotans that you can't swing a short-tailed cat without smacking one in the face). They deemed it top rate Ole & Lena.

I heard the same joke but the farmer was in Maine and just found out his Farm is really in Mass.

I hope they weren't surveying the ME/MA line....it doesn't exist.

sorry it was Maine and New Hampshire.

I get confused because Maine was originally part of Mass.
